Either that or Vestibular Disease, which exhibits similiar symptoms. The symptoms for VD are: ataxia (lack of coordination without weakness or involuntary spasms - in other words, stumbling and staggering around) motion sickness nystagmus (back and forth or rotational eye movements. The movements will be slower in one direction. This is the side where the neurologic lesion is likely to be; however, nystagmus is named according to the direction of the fast component i.e. there may be left nystagmus but the lesion is probably on the right side of the vestibular apparatus.) Circling Head tilt (usually toward the side of the lesion) Falling to one side (usually toward the side of the lesion) Trouble with other nerves controlling the head and face. Also, and one cause of VD, check for INNER ear infection.

Hard to put weight on it (the same side the head tilts to). She said when he shakes his head he falls over. The Vet doesn't know what's wrong. Any suggestions. He's 4 years old and still eats good. Maybe a stoke? Betsy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
