Hi Sally I had one girl with this, she was 11 years old and she started the day with throwing up some foods and then all of the sudden she could not get up, lost her balance you know, kind of like a fish out of water. I rushed her to emergency and noticed her eyes were darting back and forth quite fast.... I thought it was a stroke also but they said it was vestibular disease. All they did was give her meclazine sp?) for the dizziness and nauzia... she improved each day but kept a head tilt for a very long time but eventually it did go away, I kept her on the meclazine the rest of her life and she lived to be 14.... Good luck. Deb In a message dated 8/12/2009 11:44:28 A.M.

Sounds like Vestibular disease to me(hope I have this named correctly) I know some of you have had dogs with it and have had it treated successfully - please let me know how the diagnosis was made and what the treatment was Sally www.embroiderybysally.org ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
