Glaucoma is fairly common in certain breeds and it strikes very fast - much faster than in humans. I had a dog who went blind from this and she lost her sight before we even knew what was happening. If you think your pooch is losing her sight, do not waste any time getting him into a vet who specializes in eyes/vision. Most general purpose vets don't know enough about eyesight handlse this situation. If you catch it in time, glaucoma can be managed pretty well with daily medication.
If the worst happens, know that dogs can actually manage very well without sight, because their powers of hearing and smell (especially the latter) are so much superior to ours.
