My Blind and depressed Samoyed

My 5 year old Samoyed has recently gone fully blind due to basically what I can describe as PRA from a gastric illness. He seems to be almost depressed. Sleeps all day not really interested in anything. Just wants to sleep in the same corner of the house and barely wants to go on walks even though he is completely safe. The change is extremely jarring. He was on prednisone for 3 or so weeks to see if that may improve his sight which I am pretty sure it didn't but maybe acted as a bit of an upper and now that has ended he is so down in the dumps and disorientated. It's been about 6-7 weeks of blindness that we are aware of. I don't know what to do.

Rem was surprisingly comfortable as a skeleton, and so was her older brother Ein.🖤

New Fear

4 Upvotes

All of the sudden, my 15 week old pup is scared of the school bus

So now, I take her outside as far as she will go (she knows where to bus stops so she refuses to go past a certain point), and I try to distract her and give her treats as she sits quietly when the bus starts rolling in.

Sometimes she says screw the treat, I'm out and tried to run away. To the point I'm afraid she will slip out her harness (which has happened once)

But there are moments she will sit and have the treat while the bus is there.

Any other tips?

I'm waiting for her to get the rest of her shots (this weekend )so I can socialize her more to the rest of the world, people, pets, etc
