Answers:
The problem is probably due to old age. I would have the vet check him, but there is probably noothing you can do to make his eyes better. He could have catarchts, but also (i forget the exact term) as dogs age there eyes can be cloudy/glow and all it means is there night vision is deteriorating. This isn't the best info but the vet told me something to that effect as my dog was the same way in her older years. He said there was nothing to be done. Catarachts can be fixed sometimes though so you really need to go to the vet you can't fix it but the vet could. I think you should take your dog. My best friend had a very old dog (who was just put to sleep a few weeks ago due to all the illnesses she had that came with age). Her dog also had a problem with her eyes. She was pretty much blind as well, it was from old age & the vets couldn't do anything about it.
Sorry to hear :(. I know it's got to be tough watching your best friend grow old. You should take your dog to see a vet. Sounds like he has cataracts.That's the best thing you can do for him. I agree, it's probably cataracts. You have a couple of options that you should talk over with your vet. The first is to have cataract surgery. This is expensive and is only done at a few veterinary school hospitals. The second option is specialized eyewear for dogs. This is relatively new and I've only seen a few second hand stories about it, but apparently you can get glasses made for your dog's declining vision. (Depending on the breed and temperment of your dog, this may or may not be an option.) A third option is to just help your dog adjust to poor eyesight/blindness. There a couple of good articles that give advice in this arena. Basically, reintroduce him/her to their surroundings, keep food and water in the same place every meal, don't rearrange furniture, and try to keep things routine to help the dog's general stress level.
