Canine Vestibular Syndrome

Canine Vestibular Syndrome occurs frequently in older dogs and may affect middle-aged dogs as well. Because the symptoms include a head tilt and/or disorientation, with the dog either walking in circles or unable to stand, it is often assumed to be a canine stroke or other neurological disorder. And, while it is hard for both dog and owner in the early stages, this canine health problem often resolves completely within a few weeks.
