I would take her in for an eye exam. Then you’ll know if there is some treatment that can help her vision. It’s important to continue her exercise on leash and games inside. Please keep everything in the same place so she can manage moving around in the house confidently. She can still live an active life with your care. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Megan.
