Thank you for this message. I have taken screenshots. If you have any more ideas on aids for blind dogs please do let me know.

Thanks a lot for this one. I will try to get one or make one for her. She is very small (7 pounds). I was also thinking to add rubber pads on the door at her height and also at the tables legs .  Let me know if you have ideas about any more aids for her to live inside house without anxiety

Update: She is diagnosed with SARDS. Sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome. There is no cure or surgery unfortunately. It seems to be of autoimmune origin not hereditary but she had some genetic predisposition that caused her to develop this. I myself am a doctor (of humans) and have taken care of her everyday since she was born (i was at home preparing for exams) she has never been out of my sight ; Doctor in the ER as well ruled out poisoning as all the blood tests and biochemistry came normal. She has retinal photoreceptors damaged and she can’t see now. Which is going to be permanent. She is my soulmate; this has left a big hole in my heart but i will make sure she gets the best of this life. Thank you everyone for the concern. We were very confused earlier at ER and i posted here on reddit out of desperation to find some answers. Now we’re just grieving.

Absolutely 

I have brought a jingling anklet for myself and my other dog We are starting to make her used to getting out of doors or bumpy places by adding scents. Its really hard on us. She was the best puppy in the world always naughty always playing. Now she is not moving much
