Hi
2 1/2 years ago our cocker had lung worm disease, was very ill and nearly died a few times. We were warned it was fairly likely he would have corneal scarring but all seemed well and he appeared to make a full recovery - had a final check up to confirm all well.
However, occasionally I have noticed there seems to be a problem. Mainly when he is walked alone. We lost our other dog a few days ago and as he's walked alone now it's more apparent so much so my mother noticed it too.
He is well trained and behaves very well. Stays close to us, comes when called etc, doesnt run up to people, says hello to other dogs although not always.
If he is ahead of me sometimes he seems to panic as if he doesnt see where we are and runs ahead as if looking for us and keeps on going. Eventually I will get his attention and he comes running back. He's not running to see someone or another dog just running as if he's lost us although we are very close.
Yesterday we did a little test where my mother put him on the lead and walked away with him from me. She let him off and he came running to find me. He was in eyesight distance of me at all times but ran straight past me only stopping when I called his name. He then turned his head, saw me and came running.
COuld this be some sort of tunnel vision? His eyes dont hurt.
