This morning Marsh and his brothers and Posy went to see Sally, our vet, for confirmation of the eye condition. She was unable to give any definitive answer because he will change as he grows, but it seems like there are no eyeballs and even if they eyelids do part/open then he won’t have any sight.
Sally suggested looking out to see who is the guide pig out of his brothers. Apparently dogs in the same position will form strong bonds with a sibling and they are then rehomed together. Sally would like me to ‘keep him back’ for a while so we can monitor him as he grows.
He will be rehomed eventually, and will go with his chosen one from here so will not be available as a single guinea for pairing with another. This way at least when he goes to his new home he’ll have someone familiar round him.
