Blind Dоg Gеts Surgеry Аnd Finаlly Sееs His Fаmily Fоr Thе Vеry First Timе

Touching videos that are making waves online today are all about second chances.

When Daffy, an Irish rescue dog, went blind, caregiver Benjamin May claimed that he and his parents (Daffy’s owners) felt sad. May notes that Daffy’s fall seemed to be happening quickly.

“He went from a completely ordinary 8-year-old dog to a completely blind dog in about 3-5 months,” may posted on the popular Reddit site.

“It tears my heart to watch this dog I grew up with-he knocks things over, he doesn’t know me-he simply suffers,”he continued.

Daffy, who is 9 years old, has canine diabetes, which is very similar to human diabetes in that his body cannot synthesize insulin properly, which makes it difficult for the body to digest sugar. This disease has no known cure.

Duffy’s owners initially thought he had diabetes last year when he started urinating frequently at home, one of the unmistakable indicators of the sometimes debilitating condition.

The doctors checked the worst: Tamiflu’s blood sugar was dangerously high. Daffy went blind shortly after her diagnosis and will never be able to see her loved ones again.

But his loving family and experienced veterinarians were adamant about preserving the beautiful Irish Terrier. Duffy’s family administered the drug faithfully and closely monitored Tamiflu’s blood sugar levels until veterinarians agreed to perform surgical treatment to restore Duffy’s vision.

“Fortunately, we kept his statistics stable, and [the doctors] agreed to try the surgery,” May added.

Daffy underwent surgery in January last year, and everything went well. His family took care of filming the moment when Duffy’s veterinarian removed the bandages and allowed him to see his loved ones again. Daffy was overjoyed when he wagged his tail to meet mom and dad, and his eyes are better, albeit not new.

Daffy’s delightful moment quickly goes viral. The finished film, which was posted on YouTube on May 14, has been viewed more than 1.5 million times.

May expressed pride at seeing how much Duffy has progressed since the surgery.

“He obviously still has diabetes, so he has insulin doses twice a day, but the surgery to fix his eye was quite successful, there were no difficulties or concerns about his vision,” may told The Huffington Post’s Davey.
