My 7 week old Siberian Husky keeps running into things as if he can't see. When we call for him he smells us rather than look for us. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | 1 month and 16 days old | 5 lbs

This is definitely suspicious for hereditary blindness, which is occasionally seen with this breed. It's best to have a vet to examine him and determine if he's blind. Since Toby is old enough for his first shots, this can be done at the same time. I hope that helps and all is well with Toby.
