Could he have eaten something toxic at the dog park? I hope he is doing better when you go back.

Thank you guys so much! He is doing better, he was down and resting for about 6hrs. He is home now and is walking around. Im keeping him in his crate with a hearing pad just to allow him to rest. The doctor thinks it may be something vestibular but not sure yet until we get the test results. With the test results he will be able to rule out some disorders. I will keep everyone updated. Thank you so much for your support.

My dog is an 18 month old Biewer and weighs 7lbs. He is usually very happy and perky. This morning he was fine, I took him to the dog park like i usually do. He was running and playing as usual. When we came home he was acting weird. Following us around the house and starring at us. I was observing him when I noticed that he was wobbling when he was standing. I picked him up and he was very weak. I noticed that he was drooling an awful lot. He did not want to lay down and he insisted on standing up. I gave him some honey thinking his sugar level might have dropped from all that playing..but it did not help. I checked his temperature and it was normal. All he does is stand and stare off into space while his head is wobbling in a almost circular motion. When I call his name his ears move and he slightly glances at me and stares into space again. He also keeps squinting his eyes. My vet doesnt really know whats going on. They ran blood work but I have to wait for the results. Does anyone have any experience with this? Please help I am very worried.

Sorry to say, but the drooling, wobbling in circles, staring into space and eye squinting are ALL symptoms of Liver Shunt

Please have your Vet run a Bile Acid Serium.

Liver Shunt is not a death sentence, we have many LS babies here!
