Has anyone had experience with an older dog that has almost lost his hearing & has cataracts on his eyes? My dog Bob has had this happen to him. Has anyone ever heard of lasser eye surgery for dogs to remove the cataracts? Also Bobs hearing is almost gone & when I touch him he jumps because he can't see or hear me that well. He is 12 years old & is also on Rimadyl half a pill twice a day. The Rimadyl is working good for him but now we have these other problems. I know there isn't to much we can do for the hearing part of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bob is an Autrailian Shepherd.
