Cataracts should be removed as quickly as possible via eye surgery. However, another treatment for cataracts are special eye drops that are used over the rest of the dog's lifetime.

When dogs get old, they develop cataracts as a sign of aging. The vet can provide you with medication for the cataracts, and a healthy diet rich in vegetables might help reduce the effects of cataracts in old dogs.

The best thing to do for a dog with cataracts is listen to your vet. Your vet will have the best answer. While there are numerous "holistic" treatments out there it is always best to check with your vet first. It's always 'Better Safe Than Sorry.'
