At about 15yo, my dog developed a sensitivity to bright light that would cause her to flinch and/or fall backwards. This is the 3rd of 5 videos I made to show to our vet. I also sent the videos to some animal ophthalmologists, and a veterinary school,. but nobody had seen anything like this before. One initially thought this might be "fly-biting", but we determined that's something different. Before I realized that this was related to vision/brightness, I suspected it could be related to a sound sensitivity that my dog developed years earlier (walking on ice was a sound similar to a crinkly bag). So one of the first things I tried was a heavy fleece head wrap to cover her ears. That usually made no difference. But if I pulled the wrap up high on her head, to just above her eyes, it helped a lot, which is how I figured out that this issue was vision-related. I then bought about a dozen different dog goggles, kept the one that fit her face best, and returned all the others (different dogs have different face shapes, so finding good goggles required some trial-and-error). I also found that I could take the dark lenses out of the goggles, leave them empty, and even cut some plastic from the lower goggles to make the holes bigger. What was most important was either the black plastic mini-visor above her eyes, or perhaps it was having just enough black plastic surrounding her peripheral vision to offset sun brightness. Whichever it was, finding the right goggles was a major step in our management of this problem. Other changes we made over time were: 1) find super shady trails for our walks, 2) walk early before sunrise, late after sunset, or when sun is low, 3) stop spending time in the snow, which was way too bright, 4) spent more time near the ocean where it's foggy in summer. As for shady trails, I observed that transitions from shade to brightness were a problem, so it had to be very shady trails. If it was a trail with shade/brightness alternating frequently, that was almost worse than no shade. I got in the habit of always having her goggles wrapped onto my arm, so if we had be in direct sun I'd put them on her, and in shade we'd take them off. I only ever found one other video of a dog with this issue. That person said they consulted a neurologist, who put their dog on anti-seizure meditation, which "solved" the problem. However, I looked into that meditation, and upon reading that some humans taking it would actually prefer seizures, I decided against it. And I don't even know if these were seizures, so it's possible that that person's dog was just being sedated/sickened into looking better. I don't know, and they probably don't either. Another problem is that once a dog is on seizure meditation, which slows brain activity, they can't easily come off it. My vet was opposed to even trying seizure meditation as long as I could find other ways to manage this issue. Which I did. Overall, this problem was initially a major challenge for me and my dog. However, because of this challenge, we found a bunch of new walks, which kept things fun and interesting for both of us for a long time. With a little effort and lots of love, she continued to live a good life and great walks up until passing from kidney disease. Again, goggles and shady or early/late walks were the key for us. It took me months to figure that out, hopefully this video with help others figure it out faster. If your dog has this issue issue and you've found anything else helpful, please share with others here.
