Our 14 year old Lab has been diagnosed with Vestibular Syndrome. She appeared to be having a stroke on Wednesday afternoon and we rushed her to the Vet. The Vet said it was Vestibular Syndrome, an innflamation of a nerve in their ear that causes them extreme vertigo. Our Molly stayed at the Doggie Hospital through yesterday hooked up to an IV given a multitude of tests. We were told she was well enough to go home. She is on 5 different medications including steroids. It has now been 4 days since her attack and thank goodness her appetite is slowly coming back although she is on a bland diet and still needs to be hand fed at times. She still can't walk hardly at all. We carry her outside to "do her business" and she can take about five steps before falling over on her side and just laying there helpless. We are hoping that she gets better with time as it can take a couple of weeks or more. She is our baby. Has anyone else had experience with this problem? It is apparently common to older dogs and not that unusual........
