I was just looking up threads on PRA and ran across this. Yes, it needs to be checked asap. There are a few possibilities including corneal ulcer, cataracts, glaucoma, and PRA per the ophtha just conferred on Ellie's eyes.

I suspect night bindness in Ellie. Pretty much confirmed last night by trying to have her find kibble in the dark. Even some rhat I could see she coud not. She was relying on her nose. First thing that comes to my vet's mind is PRA, but we will rule some things out and see how it goes.

If it is PRA, the sooner the pup is put on an antioxidant supp, the more likely things won't quickly deteriorate.
