Sounds like Liver Shunt with the spaciness and the going in circles and what I call head pressing. Liver shunt can be diagnosed younger than a year old and I'm talking around 7 to 8 months old. I would take to vet and schedule the Bile Acid Tests. If you think it might be liver shunt feed a very low protein food diet. Liver shunt can be scary but can be surgically corrected if it's an outside shunt. Enternal shunts aka MVD can not be surgically corrected but can be controlled with diet and medication. I would for sure get a vet appt. asap.
