I'm emotional on this as my 14 1/2 yo doggy girl is nearing 72 hours after acutely developing gait and balance issues and head tilt secondary to geriatric (idiopathic) vestibular disease.
While she has seen some improvement, trying to get a 62-pound dog with real balance issues (plus osteoarthritis) up and down stairs, walk her, and prevent her from getting urine scalds if she has an accident (and she does) is just difficult for one person. She had actually walked three miles with me hours before she became symptomatic, so this is no chronic health issue and a fair percentage of these dogs (like humans who develop a similar syndrome) gradually return at least close to "normal" in a few weeks so I'm not about to give up on her. She's responding to medications to control nausea and vertigo (dizziness) and is eating and drinking fairly well with assistance.
So, yeah, this person is definitely a DOG PERSON. To all the sweet furry babes who make life worth living (especially now). We owe it to give back to you!
