Dawn,  I looked back at some older emails I saved and found some on
Vestibular Disease that sound very similar to your dog's condition.   Here
is a quote posted by Kay Springer last August:
"The dog could not stand up, head was cocked and eyes swirling. It took a
long time to resolve.
The meds given were Benedryl and pred. Eventually, things were pretty much
back to normal except for a slight
head tilt. The worst was over in about a week and half but it was probably
more
than 6 weeks until things were much better.  I was told that it occurs more
in
older females than males. Vets don't seem to know what causes it and just
say
it is idiopathic. "
