My dog is nearly ten and I have noticed her eyes clouding over could this be cataracts and shoud I need to worry about it .

It doesn't seem to bother her at all , but for my own piece of mind I would just like to know if I should need to do something for her.

both my mums previous labradors had the same thing it was cataracts and it never bothered them

my 13 and a half year old border collie has the same thing and he is fine I took him to the vets and he didnt need treatment as he could and still can still see just fine

We have a german spitz who is sadly only 4 and totally blind but appart from the clouding in her eyes, and obviously if anything is moved she copes extremely well - we looked into having the cataracts removed but they weren't very hopeful that it would be at all successful and after consultation it was decided to leave them alone. Eye specialist said they adapt very well and she has and still attends obedience class.
