She would need further (expensive) tests to confirm that. We are doing some training and loving first to see if that helps because it doesn't seem to effect her actual vision & the docs can't find anything wrong so far.
She is also VERY "slow" with learning. It could be a short circuit in her brain or again due to her past. She'd need an MRI brain scan to see whats going on.
I have emailed some reputable breeders and they say that although there is no real study done on it lethal whites can be, what they call, deaf, dumb &/or blind. Dumb meaning slow to learn, kind of handicapped. So it might be related?
And as you can see her ears are colored so she's not deaf ("most" lethal whites with fully colored ears are not deaf).
