Can you please suggest the best litter box for an adult (121/2) years old who is blind in left eye, right eye is fuzzy...Lucy has been suffering with mobility issues especially with left hind leg. I appreciate any feedback and suggestions

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lucy. If she has mobility and vision issues, I recommend using a non-traditional litterbox. You can purchase a large storage container such as a Sterilite. Then use the lid as a litterbox. This provides a large surface area with a very low lip. It will be messy if she digs and buries, but I have had many geriatric patients prefer this to a normal litterbox. I hope this information helps!
