Our poor dog Bob is losing his sight:( He's not blind or anything, but his vision of things close up seems to be pretty bad.
Things we've noticed so far:
He bumps into things around the house. Yesterday he walked right in a door frame with so much as slowing down.
When we play chase now, he will run right by me. Yesterday we were chasing around the house. I ran into the living room. He turned into the kitchen and stared at empty space thinking he had me cornered
If I throw him a treat, he doesn't even see it go by his head! This was how I first noticed it actually. He can smell treats, but he doesn't seem to be able to see them at all!
Poor guy...He's only 7! This is bull shit!
We are taking him to a dog specialist for his eyes next week. Hopefully they will be able to do something to help him out.

feel for you, my parents dog did the same thing about the same age. Its genetics, the bad genes are coming out of whatever breed is in Bob. My parents was an american cocker spaniel, bad breeding in his pedigree causes bad genes. Sorry guys we can fashion a walking cane for Bob so he doesn't bump into walls!!!
Well, it is not genetics after all but a weird dog illness that you cannot do anything about. Now we know though. He is permanently blind.
