Why is my blind dog suddenly whining, having accidents, and sleeping all day?

Question

My 2 year old dog has been blind her whole life. Here in the last few months she has been whining/crying non stop and havinf accidents in the house of urine and stools. She cries tears and her sleep pattern is off. She sleeps all day curled in a ball. She paces in her kennel and will stare blankly at nothing. She doesnt play with her mom as much as she used too. A simple blood test was negative and her fecal was negative. Were really thinking that we have to put her to sleep. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 9 months old | 76 lbs

Please do not put Memphis to sleep! Dogs do not cry for no reason. She needs an extensive physical exam by the vet to determine why she is acting like this. Simple blood and stool tests will not necessarily indicate what the problem is. But it is possible that a simple intervention and/or medication will fix it. If not, you can discuss euthanasia with the vet.
