Sugar woke up today with the same issues: couldn't stand, tilted head, drooling like crazy. I decided to take her in to the vet again.

Last time, the vet explained that the way the eyes moves tells us something: jumping up and down usually indicates a stroke, fast to one side (or the other) tells which side of the brain is effected by the vestibular syndrome, round and round is something else. Well, by the time we got to the vet last time the eyes had settled down.

Today the vet was able to see what her eyes were doing, so we know for sure this is vestibular syndrome. That is something, anyway. I had them give her the anti nausea injection, rather than me try to give her a pill. With all that drooling, I could see it melting in her mouth, yuck, plus there is always a risk they vomit it up.

He also said that, while we give the nausea meds every 24 hours if there are symptoms, most likely she still had some in her system and that is why she was OK for a few days.

This takes 2 weeks or so to settle. So I just have to watch, and give her a pill if / when symptoms return.
