Everything that lives has a quality of life. The arguable question is what quality of life.
(If you suddenly lose your sight, you may feel that your quality of life has dropped quite a bit. But, if you were born blind you might not feel any less quality of life than someone who can see.)
If the animal appears to be mobile, confident and curious, certainly the animal has a quality of life which is acceptable to the animal. Your signals to the animal by touch will help the animal maintain its dignity and self-esteem.

Is the dogs are also deaf or dumb or blind?
Deafness, blindness, and muteness can occur in dogs as well, but not all dogs are affected. Some breeds may be more prone to these conditions due to genetics or health issues. It's important for pet owners to be aware of these possibilities and provide any necessary support or accommodations for their dogs.

How do you make a dog stop spinning in circles?
It's normal for dogs to spin and some breeds of dogs do it more often than others. They are either chasing their tail or just being silly and having fun. It isn't a issue that you have to break unless it is interfering in commands you give your pet or while the pet is on a leash.More from the community...Since it's hard to rid an animal of instinct, it will take a lot of training and maybe a shock collar.ANSWER:PLEASE do NOT use a shock collar or any other sort of violent or stressful solution! Note that excessive circling/spinning may be a sign of stress in a blind or blind/deaf dog. My blind/deaf JRT just yesterday exhibited for the first time moving around in very tight circles to the left over and over again after we took him to our new house. At first he was fine, but we were there for several hours cleaning, etc., and it seemed to be too long and too stressful for him to be out of his normal element. He started circling in tight circles to the left over and over again. I belong to the blind-deaf dogs list and circling or spinning is a subject on the list. Since our JRT never showed this behavior before, I can only deduce that it was a response to an overload of new information being in a strange place. Postings on the blind-deaf dogs site have stated that the spinning or circling may be used by the stressed dog to establish their location, but it becomes a habit in reaction to too much stress. I would say that even if your dog is not blind or deaf, you should still show compassion and try to re-direct the dog with some gentle touches or by moving him in a straight line. Reassurance after the circling or spinning stops would reward a more positive action by the dog.
