**Roxyluvsme13** · 10-12-2005, 07:30 PM

Today Tink started stumbling, and tripping alot when she walked...She's wobbly, and kinda walking like a drunk person might...Any Reasons WHY? I hope it isn't serious

ADVICE NEEDED ASAP!!

Is this a new post since she saw the vet yesterday? If it is, she needs to go back to the vet NOW. Those symptoms could be any number of things from dehydration to poisoning to a stroke or central nervous system issue.

Yes this is a new post, and It's probably dehydration...I will get some water in her RIGHT NOW. If the problem still persists, my mom will call her vet in the morning.

Could also be problems with her vision. In any case, a trip to the vet is a MUST.

she just got a BUNCH OF water, and then I sat her back in the florr and she wasnt a bit wobbly...Maybe her medicines make her groggy...

That could very well be it. Have you tried googling her medicine or looking on the label to see possible side-effects???

**Roxyluvsme13** · 10-12-2005, 08:16 PM

No...but she took her medicine this morning and she has slept most of the day, so maybe it made her sleepy and she was still tired from the medicine...I'll try googling the meds

It sounds very much like dehydration/heat stroke. What medicine is she taking? If need be, get some electrolytes in her.

Keep us updated.

I have 2 labs and they have both been under the weather as of late..The youngest 2 yrs old started acting like she was "drunk"..Not falling but sort of walking and appeared disoriented..Took her to the vets and was told that she has a mild form of epilepsy..They also told us unless they become frequent, more then twice a minth we might want to consider putting her on meds for it but for now not to go that route..At that time she appears "drunk" we always lay her on her side and at that time we have noticed that she has tremors for approx. 30 seconds to 2 minutes..Hope that helps..Jill
