It's also called 'old dog syndrome'. Head tilts, moves in fast
tight circles, falls down a lot. Nausea (caused by the tight
circles sometimes). Vertigo. Ear infection ruled out as one of
the causes. This is very fast to show, like 15-30 minutes before
she was fine.

She spent Friday on an IV. Most dogs have the simple sort and
recover. Some are not so lucky as causation can also be brain
tumor or a central nervous system infection. Her's is apt to be
the somple sort but she is 3 weeks from turning 15 and that is very
old in dogs years. She is close to 25 for a cat for comparison. We
have to wait and see.

Sounds like a miserable thing to have, poor girl.
Purrs coming...

Yeah, she was pretty miserable for a time. We lucked up and she's back
to normal now. Lost too much weight as she was so dizzy, she couldnt
eat (or if she tried, she vomited it up). We are fattening her up now.
She's about 3lbs under weight still.
