Within the last few days my dog developed problems chasing her ball. She still wants me to throw it and waits, but doesn't chase anymore. In the last couple days she quit chasing bubbles yet once again gets excited when you mention it. Now we went for a walk and she ran into everything. I am hoping this could be something that won't last. She is a 8 year old Jack Russell and recently had a health check that showed slightly elevated liver enzymes that our vet said is nothing to be concerned about after another check of the enzyme level showed it wasn't increasing at a fast rate.
Update:I took her to the vet and the second post was right on. The vet believes it to be SARD, but we are taking her to the place the second poster provided a link to so the specialist can determine if that is indeed the case. Unfortunately from what I have read online it is most likely a permanent condition, although she seems to still be doing quite well.

You absolutely need to get her into the vet and have her eyes checked. Eye issues are emergencies. What most people don't realize is a matter of a few hours for something like glaucoma can mean the difference of a permanently blind dog and one that is treatable. If you are not seeing any other symptoms (such as swelling, cloudiness, tearing, squinting, pupils fully dilated) then I doubt it is glaucoma but it could be something like SARDS. (Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome) SARDS is a condition seen in dogs which results in complete vision loss over a few days to a few weeks.
Pleas take your dog in immediately and tell your vet what you are seeing!

No the Dog can see he just like most rappers chooses to wear his shades all the time, And not becuz he's always high, Watch a special about his lovely wife & kids he adores. You see the real Snoop Dog.
Take her to the vet. If she cannot see, they might be able to do something before it gets untreatable.
