Then watered down her canned food and was giving it to her in a syringe and also water that way. She started to improve and eat on her own with a little help, then yesterday was a bad day for her refusing everything. So back to square one. I started searching on line for whatever I could find. I came across Canine Peripheral Vestibular Syndrome. The symptoms are so much like a stroke but it has to do with the inner ear. Vets do not know why this happens but is seen more in older dogs than younger ones but younger dogs can be afflicted with it as well.Symptoms usually last anywhere from three days to three weeks. All I can do now is just what I'm doing and alot of extra care. Maybe this is what your baby has, it's worth checking into. I wish you and your baby the best. Please let me know if I can help further. |
Did your vet tell you about dramimine? if not you need to ask about it. It makes all the diff in the world for vestibular syndrome.
