Senior Dog Vestibular - Sugar; 2d time Oct 3

[Sowa]

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.
