I think my dog is going deaf ???

I have a dog whos turning 10 in 3 days when I take her to the park she is trained off leash when I wanna go shes still sniffing around I call abby over but she dosent come shes only a few feet away from me.I got her when I was 3 so she means the world to me plus I think shes going blind because if you look in her eyes you see white were the black is. I no im still a kid but I do no a lot about animals and how to take care of them I no about a lot about them she has never been to the vet

Answer #1

I would take her to the Vet. In casses like this, it’s important to get her looked at as soon as possible because it could be curable. If you leave it too long, it might become to late.

Answer #2

Tho I agree, you should have her checked out, I think she probably IS losing her hearing at 10 years old…the loss of hearing is gradual, so you probably didn’t notice when she first started losing it. They do fine without their hearing, you just have to keep good track of them when you’re out, because they can’t hear you when you call. Just like old people, old dogs take extra care.
