Sorry to hear about your Yorkie. I've had 2 blind rescues, one was also deaf. Dogs are resilient..they use their smell first. When I first rescued the blond and deaf one she did what they call mapping..walked around my entire house, sniffing, bumping into things, after a few times doing this she had mapped the house..she even went up and down the stairs! I always had to make sure nothing was out of place though or leave something out. My other one went blind when she already lived with me so she didn't do the mapping. But she also used her sense of smell to get around. My vet gave me a pamphlet on how to live with a blind dog, lots of info on internet too. Good luck, im sure your furbaby will adjust..and probably faster than you do!
