Vestibular disease in dogs
7 min read
Vestibular disease is a condition where dogs suddenly develop problems with their balance. Around 1 in 1000 dogs will develop vestibular disease. It can affect dogs of any age or breed, but it’s most common in older dogs.
Vestibular disease comes on suddenly and can look scarily as if your dog’s had a stroke. They may develop flickering eyes and a head tilt, and struggle to stand or walk. A number of things can cause vestibular disease symptoms, but often the cause is unknown. Symptoms usually improve over several days to a few weeks. But recovery and the long-term outlook also depend on the underlying cause.
