One day I was taking the dogs out when I noticed Ruth kept bumping into things and seemed scared, dad had noticed it too. Later I told mom and she passed on the news to Nana. Mom asked if Nana could check on Ruth because she has worked with dogs in a veterinary clinic and had lots of pets. Nana agreed and told mom that she should take her to the vet. That evening, mom and Nana took Ruth to the vet in Louisa. We were worried that Ruth would be genetically blind. The vet took a lot of tests and said we should take the dog to an eye specialist in Richmond.
Mom and Nana had to leave at 8:30 a.m. The doctor/specialist said there was good news and bad news. The bad news: her optic nerves were badly inflamed, which made her blind in both eyes. The good news: THERE WAS A CURE!!!!!!. The Vet prescribed medications for Ruth’s eyes to get rid of the inflammation. We were all sad and worried, but each day we can tell that Ruth sees better and clearer. (Praise the almighty GOD) Ruth is almost healed. (P.J.)
