Review content:
Stroke or Vestibular Disease? \r
Vestibular Syndrome, variously referred to as Peripheral Vestibular Syndrome, Idiopathic Vestibular Syndrome (meaning it occurs for no known reason) and Geriatric Vestibular Syndrome (more common in older dogs but can occur in middle aged dogs) are all names for the same condition now commonly referred to as Vestibular Syndrome. \r
Some vet's don't know !!!!!! and our dog is dead.\r
\r
The vestibular system senses the position of the head and body in space, in relation to gravity and movement. This helps the animal maintain balance and coordinate eye movements with movement of the head. \r
\r
The receptors for the vestibular system are located in the inner ear, adjacent to the hearing receptors. Vestibular information is processed in the lower portion of the brain in the brainstem and cerebellum, therefore a problem in the inner ear or one in the brain can affect the vestibular system. \r
\r
\r
This syndrome is not a life threatening condition, nor should it even be called ""old dog vestibular syndrome"" as is sometimes the case because young dogs have also contracted it. However, in most cases it will be older dogs who have this condition. \r
\r
This condition is sometimes misdiagnosed since the dog may display many of the same symptoms that are associated with a brain tumor or a stroke victim. Unfortunately, some vet's will tell you that you need to put them to sleep right way as with our dog who may have recovered has been euthanized because some vet's are in to big a rush and do not give the dog a 48 hr recovery time to see if they improve, we wish we had known of this disease befor we listened to Dr. kline's no hope advice, our dog could be all right by now. \r
