Anybody been through this with your dog? My lab is almost 14 and was diagnosed yesterday with Idiopathic Vestibular disease. I woke up Sat. morning and found her in an odd position with a bewildered disposition. Her eyes were twitching rapidly. When she tried to stand, she fell over. She seemed very confused, was trembling and stumbling about. She would sneak up on her food bowl and seemed scared of it. I finally got her to eat out of my hand. She could find her dog door to go out, but couldn't find it to get back in.
I was guessing she had a stroke in the night. Our Vet was gone for the weekend, so I fired up the google fu. Turns out many pet owners mis-diagnose these symptoms as a stroke.
She was slightly better on Sunday. Got her to the Vet first thing yesterday morning. She got some medicine for dizziness and nausea. We are taking a wait and see approach at this point. Her gait is much better today and she can find her way back in the house.
I would appreciate any insight from ya'll that have been through this.
