Senior Dog Vestibular - Sugar; 2d time Oct 3

[Taz_Zoee]

I got tears in my eyes reading this. When you said "I'm scared, Mum, what's going on?" That brought the tears on big time. It reminds me of when Zoee had her "episodes" and she had that same look in her eyes. And the worst of it is WE don't know!
I'm so glad she got better and you saw the vet. I hope it doesn't happen again and she remains healthy.

Hugs to you and Sugar!!

I'm sorry you had to go through that! But I'm glad she's feeling better. I'm not familiar with that either so I'll be looking it up myself.

Thanks, everyone. Sugar and I -- and a few other pups, lol - went back to bed, slept for THREE HOURS. I'm feeling better, and Sugar looks fine.

Yes, Ellie, we did discuss other possibilities. Sugar had a complete blood work up recently, so we don't think it is thyroid. Her ears look fine to the vet, plus I haven't noticed her itching, so we ruled that out for now as well.

Back when I was 25, the family dog Princess had this vestibular thing, took about 2 weeks for her to settle from it. She was 14 at the time, and lived another 2.5 years with no issues. So I remembered that. Only unusual bit is that Sugar seemed totally fine within 20 minutes or so.

Gosh, I don't need these crises, lol.

Wow! How scary. I'm sorry this happened but I'm glad that you could take her to your vet asap. I hope that she'll be fine now. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.
