Vestibular syndrome - Page 2

I try to avoid speaking for other people @goldensrbest however I feel pretty confident writing that we in the Pet Lovers forum, especially those who have gone through this same thing, send out hugs to you and positive vibes.

A few months ago I adopted a senior GSD that was not fed well and not medicated. I worked with vet and got him eating and well medicated. One day he couldn't walk straight and had rapid eye movements. It came on sudden so I assumed stroke. Rushed him to the vet and was given diagnosis of Geriatric Vestibular Syndrome. No ear infections or disturbances so just several weeks of "dramamine" and then one day as quickly as it appeared it went away. Very scary but hasn't happened again. @goldensrbest hope all turns out well for your guy.

@goldensrbest I'm very sorry that this is happening to your dog. I know it's scary and quite upsetting for both of you. It is obviously directly related to the ear cleaning. I hope they can get to the bottom of it and correct it quickly.

It has started yet again, falling, losing balance, please say a prayer for spirit.

So sorry to hear this update and I will be thinking best thoughts for your dear dog.

I have a cat who had a couple of bouts of idiopathic vestibular syndrome a few years back--similar symptoms. I held him closely until he calmed down and brought him to the vet for the dx. It recurred a couple of weeks later, but it was a less acute session. Since then, nothing. I'd hoped your dog would follow a similar course. Will be thinking of both of you.
