Your vet is correct that dogs can do well being blind, but I can understand also why you would not want Tigger to be both deaf and blind. I think it would be worth getting a second opinion on this, especially if you have concerns about him being both deaf and blind. Having another opinion on the case may make you feel better about the ultimate outcome. Good luck!
