Guest 8_Greyt_Greys Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Our morning started out normal. Out to potty then eat. I then go to the kennel. When i came back in Dakota was having trouble walking . Wobbly holding head funny and not walking straight .Leaning to one side. We got him to lay down. He threw up. He is alert . We have a vet appt. at 5:10 this evening. Any ideas? Nothing new to eat has not got in anything. He will be 8 in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We experienced that at about the same age. I'm not sure I would be satisfied with waiting until 5:10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricia Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Does Dakota have a seizure history? My first thoughts were stroke or seizure. I hope they can get him in before 5 today.

Fudge Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) That sounds like vestibular disease. Vestibular Disease Which, I believe, is usually treated with antibiotics. Edited February 6, 2008 by Fudge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotaina Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'd guess vestibular as well. HOpe you get some answers quickly! Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury).

Fudge Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Vestibular disease can be scary to see....I know it was for me the several time I saw dogs with it. Most completely recover with antibiotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HeatherDemps Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I hope that Dakota recovers quickly and am glad that you found an answer to what was causing this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gottaluvgreysindy Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'm just now seeing this Belinda, but I'm glad you have found your answer and Dakota is on his way to recovery. Sending healing thoughts to your baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
