Do check with your vet to get a recommendation for tick protection for your dog. A couple months after a trip to Colorado mountains, our Golden came down with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, typically transmitted by ticks.

Animal ophthalmologist confirmed she could not see and immediately suspected the fever and started treatment immediately to halt any further damage. Blood test confirmed the fever the next day. Vision soon began to return and, as best we could tell, eventually returned to normal.
Don't know if she was totally blind (she did trip over my legs as though she could not see them) or just severely limited, or for how long, but she moved around the house as though nothing was wrong.
She was never off leash while in the mountains.
