My dog is facing walls and corners. Is this a serious health problem?

Poor Bruice! This could be a serious neurological issue caused by age, a stroke, cancer, toxins, geriatric vestibular disease and more. I would have him seen by a vet as soon as possible as quick intervention may be necessary. Your vet may want to run blood work to make sure everything look okay. I hope this helps!

I am sorry to hear about Baby. I would be concerned about things like a seizure disorder (they can sometimes act "out of it" prior to and after a seizure, and seizures can sometimes be mild and you may not notice them falling over and thrashing as you see in severe seizures), I would also worry about things like a liver shunt which can cause neurological signs. I would recommend bringing Baby in for an exam at the vet. They can do a neurological exam on him and may recommend bloodwork to check for underlying causes for his behavior.

That sounds scary! Fatboy needs to be examined by his veterinarian. It sounds like he may have had a seizure or is dealing with hepatic encephalopathy. Pets can have seizures for many reasons including liver disease, electrolyte imbalance, infections, inner ear problems, cancer or epilepsy. He will need a physical exam and bloodwork to begin to narrow down and appropriately address the cause. Seizures and hepatic conditions are serious and are best addressed early. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi there. Yes, this definitely sounds concerning. Sudden behavior changes are often due to an underlying medication problem - Wanda may be in pain or not feeling well, or may have ingested something toxic that is causing neurologic symptoms. I would recommend taking her to the vet for an exam right away. He/she can do blood work or other testing if needed to help diagnose the problem and get her started on appropriate treatment.

Since he is walking hunched it sounds like he either had injured his back and/or neck OR he is guarding his abdomen and something in there hurts. I suggest you get him to your vet for an exam as soon as possible.

It doesn't sound like Sweet Pea is in any pain. She definitely sounds like she has developed some sort of problem though. Disorientation and stopping in front of walls / doors can be a sign of vision loss, blindness, coordination problems, or an underlying neurologic condition. In a 17 year old dog, the likelihood of a true health problem is unfortunately higher than in a younger one. I would recommend that she be examined soon in order to be given an ophthalmic exam and a neurologic exam. The veterinarian will also likely want to obtain blood work given Sweet Pea's age in order to rule out other diseases relating to the important organ systems in the body.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Since Macho Man is walking in circles, I would be worried about a possible neurological issue. Especially if he is having urinary and fecal accidents in the house, I'm worried he either cannot control his bowel movement, or is unaware that they are happening. Circling (walking in circles) could be a sign of forebrain disease, meaning something is wrong in the front part of Macho Man's brain. Since he is older, there is a chance his signs could be due to something like a brain tumor. I recommend having Macho Man evaluated by either your veterinarian or a neurologist, if your veterinarian is not comfortable with neurologic exams. I hope this is helpful.
