Why is my dog staggering and walking into things? Is it poison?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be due to a neurological or orthopedic condition. This could even due to weakness from perhaps getting into something he should not have. For this reason, I recommend that you consider taking him to your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check what seems to be the issue so that it can be treated accordingly. Good luck and have a great day!

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The clinical symptoms you describe are concerning for something serious going on with Daisy. She could be acting like that from perhaps severe dehydration and hypovolemia (lack of volume in her circulatory system) from so much diarrhea and recent history of anorexia and not drinking water. She could have also being exposed to some toxin that is affecting both her gastrointestinal and neurologic systems. I highly recommend you take her to a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as soon as possible. Good luck!

Certainly sounds like Tony is experiencing some sort of neurologic episode. While a toxin can definitely cause sudden neurological symptoms, so can inflammatory and infectious conditions, trauma, and some circulatory issues. Though Tony sounds pretty stable, I would not hesitate long in taking him to the veterinarian. There may be other clinical signs that are less obvious to you that require intervention. Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Kohel! Is there a chance that he could have gotten in to Marijuana? I agree it does sound like he could have gotten in to a toxin. Be sure that he didn't have access to anti-freeze. If there is ANY chance he could have it is deadly and immediate intervention is needed. The best thing for both dogs is to be seen at an Emergency hospital. It is best to be safe and proactive since you do not know what they could have gotten in to. I hope this helps and I wish you and both your dogs the very best!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It could be vestibular disease, among other neurological conditions. Regardless, this warrants an evaluation by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They can diagnose this issue so that therapy can be started. Best of luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor guy! I am so sorry to hear this. There are plenty of possibilities that could be causing this including neurological disease or orthopedic disease. This could certainly be related to him being in those conditions for a long time or perhaps is unrelated. This could even be due to weakness from dehydration or malnutrition. However, I do think that this warrants a veterinary evaluation as soon as possible to try to determine what may be going on. They would be able to check for these possibilities and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a great day!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Judge isn't feeling like himself. What you are describing sounds like "ataxia," which may be due to a variety of reasons, including an inner ear infection, a neurologic issue, an underlying medical issue (such as low blood sugar), or another underlying issue. I would recommend he be evaluated by his regular veterinarian to determine what may be going on, and if any further diagnostics or treatment is needed. Good luck!
