Poor Poor Harley

We have been worried sick about Harley!! I received a phone call from Jennifer Singleton who is his owner now. She asked if he had allergies and informed me that his eyes were bulging!! I didn't know if that was really something that related to allergies but they went ahead and took him to the doctor and over the past month or so they have spent over 1000 dollars in medical bills and prescriptions. They were first very confused and didn't know what it was, then a few days later they said that it was an eye infection and when the medication didn't help they referred her to a specialist. The specialist said that he had partial vision loss and that she thought it had to do with ticks. So she was hopeful and used all the meds they told her to.

Well things have not gotten better and I got a message from Jennifer today just letting me know that Harley is Blind!! The vet says that it is due to his initial infection and they think that because he is overweight that the fat has gone to his eyes. I don't know if I believe that, in fact the problem could be much deeper than that. They also said that they will be moving to Alaska very soon and they don't think that he will be able to adjust to the change especially now that he has this new impairment. I feel so terrible I do feel like I should take him back after all he was our dog to begin with. I am overwhelmed just thinking about bringing him back with him being even more overweight and blind!! I don't want to be cruel but what if this problem that he has is in fact stemming from a much more serious problem, then we will have medical bills coming out of our ears. My mom and I were talking about it earlier and she thought that it might be necessary to put Harley down :( I know that would be the last resort but it is definitely something to think about. As of right now I am going to do as much research for common illnesses in his particular breed.
