Head tilt

  • Wobbly walk, falling over, weak back legs, walking in circles

    Posted on 2008/01/20 by Rose

    My 8 yr Burmese (neutered declawed male) has, for the last 1 1/2 yrs been showing signs of being dizzy or wobbly - appetite is good & he grooms & toilets normally, last blood work was normal, temperature is normal but he has this worsening problem with walking in circles, leaning against the wall, seems confused and dizzy and falls over from time to time, it's gotten much worse the last 2 weeks - saw vet today who says its neurological, probably something in his brain (lesion, scar,inflammation or tumor)I can't afford $2000 for an MRI - I'd appreciate any information or insights you can give & recommendations on what I should do?

  • Hearing and Vision problem?

    Posted on 2009/02/08 by Christina

    I have a 2 y/o boston terrier(bought her from a breeder) and she has always been a little different! When she was a puppy she couldnt jump ontop of things because she wouldnt jump high enough.... as shes grown up she can jump on our furniture(because she knows where it is). If we go to a neighbors house she will try and jump on their couch and just run into it....its very sad! Its like she cant judge how high the object is. When i call her to come inside she sometimes just looks at me and cocks her head to the left like she cant tell what i want her to do, and sometimes when i tell her to get in her kennel she wont even look at me, like she doesnt hear me. When she goes...

    Thank you Karen Stacy for the reply to the response to "dog not sleeping".I took bobby to my vet he said that fluids have filled in his stomach due to kidny failure.And his organs are enlarged. What's the cause?

  • Very Sick Cat

    Posted on 2009/03/25 by User

    We live on a farm and have a stray cat that has been hanging around. We bought goats last week and one of them passed away yesterday. This morning the cat was lying on my porch, seemed almost paralyzed, unable to move except head, twitching, labored breathing. Any clue what it could be and do you think it could be related to whatever killed the goat?

  • Vomiting blood?

    Posted on 2007/11/20 by User

    My 1 year old chihuahua mix just threw up bile with a few flecks of blood in it. Can I hold out a few more hours until our vet is open, or go to the emergency vet???

  • Dragging a leg and possible vestibular disease

    Posted on 2007/11/29 by Mary

    Pollie has been very active and loves running in the woods every day, she is still active, but we have noticed that her left hind leg is scraping slightly as she walks, we can hear it as she walks on the carpet, it's not a lot it is only just scraping on the surface, and sometimes her head looks like she is tilting it on one side, plus she has gone a little quieter! What do you think can be wrong?

  • vestibular

    Posted on 2007/12/11 by User

    My goldern has vestibular disease. We found out Sunday, My question is is it normal for him to urinate on himself with this disease? He cant and wont get up. I just feel this is not a way of life for him. I feel he is worse now then on Sunday.

  • some thing wrong

    Posted on 2007/12/17 by john

    WHat would cause a cat to go around in circles and flop down. Normally the cat is very active, but has seemed to have lost all ability to move quickly, can not go down the stairs, but can go upstairs. Does not know where the litter box is. Seems to have no feeling on the left side of body. Could this have been a stroke or systems of a spider bite?
