Hearing and Vision problem?

Rating: 10

I have a 2 y/o boston terrier(bought her from a breeder) and she has always been a little different! When she was a puppy she couldnt jump ontop of things because she wouldnt jump high enough.... as shes grown up she can jump on our furniture(because she knows where it is). If we go to a neighbors house she will try and jump on their couch and just run into it....its very sad! Its like she cant judge how high the object is. When i call her to come inside she sometimes just looks at me and cocks her head to the left like she cant tell what i want her to do, and sometimes when i tell her to get in her kennel she wont even look at me, like she doesnt hear me. When she goes through our sliding glass doors she sometimes runs into it(i open it very wide so shes not squeezing through it)...again its like she cant judge how far open the door is. ive brought her to a training class and they didnt notice anything(i didnt tell them, i wanted to see if they would notice).... also she drinks so much freakin water that she throws up afterwards(she can access her water bowl 24/7)...i thought it was a mineral problem so i give a vitamin everyday, she still throwing up....shes a very good dog otherwise and i love her very much....i think she may have a hearing and vision problem.... what should i do?

Symptoms: Head Tilt, Ears, Eyes

    You should get her checked out by a vet. The consumption of water may indicate kidney problems or diabetes. It sounds like she cannot see well and has to live with it, unless she has juvenile cataracts with can be fixed by a veterinnary opthamologist

    Some dogs with ear, skin, stomach, and bowel problems need different ingredients and healthy oils to solve their medical problems. Also you can check out Dr.Gregs diet tips at gilroyvet.com
