It’s been a brutal 48 hours, don’t know if she can beat this just because of her age.

Dude sorry to hear. My 13 year old got old dog vestibular maybe 6 months ago. Middle of the night heard her trying to stand up and she would just fall. Eyes were moving weird. Scary in real time. Worried it was a stroke or something. Went to vet as soon as they opened, got diagnosed, got some meds ...

Scary for the first few weeks. Not really eating, had to buy wet food. She couldnt walk for a bit.

NOW she is better. She has a perma tilt of her head and her balance is somewhat off but shes back to normal.

Your pup will get better. Scary first week or so but a month from now, she'll be mostly normal again.

This does pass man. Just hugs and extra pets and cuddles.

Naustia medicine helped my dog start eating again. After a week of not eating much I was beyond worried.

Word….that’s good news. Thanks. They said it could be something worse such as brain tumor…but didn’t get the mri because vet said the head tilt, drooling and the eye movement points to vestibular. Yeah she can’t walk right now, but stood and actually peed this morning. So small steps

Yeah, we were told the same thing and went down the road you are on. I think one of us stayed home from work for a few days.

Small steps, takes a few weeks. Good weekend to get her up on the couch with some throw blankets and just chill.

And wet food.
