Rick, my old Drahthaar took a spill down a hill she couldn't get back up in the mountains of north Idaho. She too was mostly blind and near deaf. She toughed it out for 4 days. She made her way down to the lake and was found on the beach....alive but beat up. Considering this is the hub of wolves, bears and cats....she did well.

She bounced back in a few days.

I hope you can be as lucky.
