Thank you so much for this story. My lovely dog suddenly started going round in circles, being sick and her eyes flickering. I was distraught and rushed her to the vets. They diagnosed her with this disease and gave her a sickness jab.
This blog really helped!
Thank you.

My dachshund is currently going through this. It is hard to see him struggle with normal functions and the confusion 😕

Sounds similar to what a terrier of mine had.mild epilepsy.

I’m glad your dog got better in a short period of time. You should discuss with your vet to see what should be done if he has another episode.

He has had two episodes of lose o balance. First episode I had him thoroughly checked by vet, ears cleaned and flushed with medicated solution, blood work which the vet said was perfect. He was back to his normal self in approximately an hour. Same thing happened today 10/23/20 this time I just kept him quiet and he again was back to normal in an hour. Should I do anything further, confused because it clears up in such a short time. Jim

Thanks. Max has completely recovered without any intervention! We have no idea what he had but in 2 days he was completely back to normal. !!!!

Fortunately, we haven’t had any experience with Lyme’s Disease. I hope your dog is feeling better.

Thanks Colby. We researched Lyme’s disease. Similar symptoms. Another dog our ours had it. Got better on Antibiotics. But at times Max Walks better. But won’t stand for long. That’s why we thought Lymes. Any experience with that? Thanks, Kristin Maier

I would take him to the vet. It sounds similar to what my Linus had when he was diagnosed with canine vestibular disease, but you need to get a diagnosis from your vet so your dog can be properly treated.

He swaggerd when walking. His stance seems different too. Head down. Shaking, trembling and rapid heart rate. He wouldn’t come down the stairs. Had to carry him down. Saw him staring at one point into a corner. Any thoughts? Thanks
