Anne, I've had friends whose cats have lost their sight during various routine procedures where they had to be anethistized.  Four of the six regained some sight in time.   Try not to worry about bringing Dublin home.  Once he realizes he is home he will adjust very well - given time.  If you

So sorry this happened to Dublin, but hopefully, he will regain at least some sight. I had two cats with severe stomatitis that my vet and I (with the help of some Holisticat.com advice) cured using just one course of Clavamox and then supplements. It takes some months, but they were cured.
