I agree, she should be seen by an opthamologist. It may be PRA or could be something else. It is important to get a correct diagnosis.
One of my fosters who has been with me for some time cannot see due to PRA. His family dumped him and did not bother to tell me that he was having vision problems. It was so sad because he was scared to death. He is fine now and has adjusted very well to my home. I have two older yorkies who cannot see and I am careful when I pick them up and hold them to always put them down in a familiar place such as their bed. I also am careful not to move furniture around because that can confuse them.
