Hi,
I did a search looking for this question and while I found some Vestibular disorder info, I didn't find this.
First, if you have never heard of peripheral vestibular disorder, it is terrifying as it looks a lot like a stroke and according to my vet, many animals are needlessly put to sleep. The dog very suddenly can't walk, won't eat or drink, vomits a lot, the head lolls to one side, and an obvious symptom is the eyeballs darting back and forth.
Anyway, after weeks of hell and months of care, most dogs recover most of the way to live out their lives.
And finally my question: It has been almost 6 months and my miniature schnauzer, Sasha, still has the head loll which is livable, but she also hears everything backwards. If I clap or call her, she looks the other way. Her eyes are already compromised, it is driving me crazy.
Please, please, please, has anyone heard of this symptom before. I just want her to actually look towards me! I'm not expecting a miracle, but I would feel much better knowing if anyone has ever heard of this symptom as well as how your babies are doing long term??
Thanks very much,
Suzanne
