She saw the vet this morning and had her eyes checked to rule out sight problems. The vet said that her eyes responded in the ways that they should, but that her brain may not be processing visual information properly and that could explain why she appears to not always be able to see properly. Basically the vet said that there's not really a way of determining this for sure and so we just need to work with her behaviourists on her anxiety issues and treat her very much as a unique case.
She saw her behaviourists this afternoon and they were really pleased with her progress that she's made over this past month. She's much more chilled out at home than she was before and she's gradually getting better when out on walks, although walks are still a big problem for her. Whilst they were here they went on a walk with us so they can help us with techniques for dealing with Florrie when she shows signs of stress. The behaviourists decided she was now finally ready to go off her lead today for the first time ever and I was so happy with how responsive she was. It was amazing! We will definately be practising this one every week as she's so worn out she has slept all afternoon!
She still has a very long way to go, but she is starting to now make progress and it's going to be a long journey to get her to a place where she's more settled and relaxed, but I'm much more optimistic after the comments and feedback that the behaviourists gave me today.
