Duffy the rescue dog struggled with his health for a long time. He developed blindness and diabetes, but after this surgery he’s able to see his family for the first time in months. Watch Duffy’s warm reaction to the people he loves.

someone about having it done on my daughter's dog, Mulder. I wonder if it is expensive? If it's just cataracts I have stuff for this called Can-C made by some Russian doctor that I've been taking for 15 years. Works like a charm. I never thought of trying it on a dog.

In some cases, lasers are used. Very interesting.

that's why I take the Can-C drops. I'm going to ask my daughter if she knows whether her dog is diabetic. Thanks for reminding me. I DD laser treatments. Thanks again.

It talks about computer eye strain which is interesting. If her dog is diabetic, switch the diet immediately. Dogs are becoming diabetic because of all the fillers in the food. The change is nothing short of remarkable. Even vet recommended food is trash. Good luck to both of you.

I know nothing about this vendor. I buy everything from Amazon now but I buy the drops direct from the company. Good luck. Check everything out before you buy them. Don't just take my word for it. Good luck.

I order all the time from Swanson's because their prices are great. I'm going to read up on them. I don't have cataracts, but if I'm working long hours on the computer, sometimes my vision goes wonky.

EVERY animal deserves a family to love, and be loved by. Duffy seems so relaxed, easy going and now HAPPY. Hopefully his health problems are clearing up now.

Can't even hear the dog for the high pitched squeals from the people until they settle down a bit. Nice to see the dog happy, but I have the same reaction to this that I have to the Apple commercial "I'm geeEETTIng one!!". I was waiting for glass objects to start breaking.
