Just fielding opinions please . . . our 10.5 Greyhound had a ?seizure on Sunday and was diagnosed with vestibular syndrome. I've nursed these cases before (ex VN) and know they can take time to recover but they were all smallish dogs and management was relatively simple - turning, bathing, supported exercise etc. Our greyhound - although comfortable, eating, alert and is now able to stand for a short period (ie improved since Sunday) is just SO tricky to nurse . . . all legs, lakes (not puddles), thin skin (grazes if knuckles) and 45kgs and although I'm preventing any pressure sores so far (padding, tempur bed), I can see this will become more difficult in the weeks to come. I'm trying to be sensible but if I consider PTS, I feel guilty because if he were a smaller dog, we'd probably get through this. Any thoughts?

I'd wait and see.
A boxer belonging to a friend was nursed back to a stage where heavy falls stopped and she could wobble outside supported by a towel as a sling.....fairly quickly. She made a reasonable recovery.

Sorry to hear your news. Not sure of any help, but my friend's 11 yr old labradoodle (not small!) had a VS 'seizure' about 6 months ago and is doing really well. He's on medication, can't remember the name of the tablets, but can find out and there have been a few times he's been 'off colour' but he's enjoying life and is happy.

It's early days for you, with luck you will have similar results. But, my thoughts are, it's early ... see how he gets on over the next few weeks.

Good luck and hope he does improve with time :-)

Vestibular syndrome attacks can be very short-lived, so hopefully he'll be one of the quick ones and be able to function normally within a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed.

My lad had an episode about 4 years ago and he recovered quickly and has been fine since, just approaching 14 and I am getting worried although I should not be as he is still very waggie.

Thank you all for your comments but sadly Tex had deteriorated this morning and the vet felt his condition was more likely to be a brain tumour. He had already had a malignant mass removed before we adopted him. He went peacefully at home.

I'm so sorry to hear that. :-( Sleep well Tex.

So sorry to hear your sad news :-(

Sorry you have lost him but glad he is at peace.
