Just thought the other day that Gracie might be deaf. Never really twigged before but when we came home the other day went upstairs into their room and on opening the door Chewy was obviously startled - could tell he was ready to run! But Gracie just carried on cleaning herself and it's only when I got close to her that she jumped and noticed me.
Chewy runs for cover when the hoover comes out but Gracie you literally have to nudge her with it before she moves or she moves when she feels the breeze from it.
Chewy points his little ears in the direction he's looking/walking whilst Gracies just flop about as she hops
We never thought about it before because if you rattle their food or they hear rustling of wrappers they both come running but now were thinking perhaps she is just following him thinking 'if he's running their must be food somewhere'
Anybody think she's probs deaf? How would a vet check, and would it cause her any stress. Assuming she's been deaf since birth, she's only 1 and a half.....we both felt really sorry for her after thinking she might be, poor lil mite! But maybe she doesnt know any differant.
