Poorly Whippet

[gilliwigs]

Muffin's mum Millie keeps losing her balance and falling over. The vet thinks it's a neurological/neck problem. She's alert, eating and drinking but struggling to co-ordinate her movements and falls when on the tiled or wooden floor. She has been put on anti-inflammatory's to see if they help. Was just wondering if anyone on here has any suggestions as to what the problem could be. She must be about 9 or 10.

Tina messaged me with the same question. I've asked Millie's owner if he's done that. Thanks :thumbsup:

The vet didn't check her ears! Can't believe he didn't - even in humans a balance problem is often connected to a ear problem. Both Millie's owner and her daughter are suspecting a trapped nerve though.
