He wasn't from a rescue, I knew someone who bred her yorkie and she was looking for homes for threevof the four. She is not a breeder, this was a one time thing. All the other pups are fine. Their vet told them he might be deaf, I took him to my vet the day after I got him, and she agreed. He did not respond to any noises she made.
It is clear to us that he can hear at least most sounds, maybe just a little hard of hearing?
He has his next vet visit next week. I can ask her about it then, but yorkie talk is where I come to for most advice. I don't know if she can do more extensive testing or not. Don't really want to incur any huge expenses for testing if I can avoid it. It won't change anything to know for sure I guess. We will love and care for him either way. I suppose as he gets older it will be more obvious?
Like I said, I love him SO much. He is going to have whatever he needs to be happy. I'll do some reading on blind dogs and do the best I can.
