My poodle is walking in circles, stiff, and won't eat. What's wrong?

Kika sounds extremely bad off. Without seeing her in person, I cannot say what is going on but I can say she is sick enough to need to see a vet now. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with another pet, but there may be a different vet on tonight. For her sake, please take her into the ER vet.

The symptoms you have described are concerning for a neurologic disease. In dogs, neurologic symptoms can be seen secondary to diseases of the liver or brain. In a puppy, the distemper virus may cause symptoms similar to what you described. Your veterinarian can test him for this disease by submitting a urine sample to a lab. The other option would be to have him evaluated by a veterinarian that specializes neurology. In the meantime, discuss with your veterinarian treating him for infectious diseases such as parasites.

It is hard to say for certain what is going on without seeing Corazon in person for an exam. From what you described, it sounds like he may have some back or neck pain. I recommend he sees his veterinarian for an exam very soon to help pinpoint where the pain in coming from. Your vet may recommend x-rays or other imaging to help get a better idea of what the cause is so he can get the treatment he needs to start feeling better.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian right away if at all possible. The symptoms you have described can be the result of an intoxication, orthopedic pain such as arthritis or a neurological problem. An examination will be performed and x-rays may be needed to diagnose the problem. From there, appropriate treatment can be prescribed. I hope this information helps!

It sounds as Bany is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.

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.

The signs that you describe with Cleo really worry me about something going on in her brain, such as a tumor. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Take some videos of her behavior to show your veterinarian as well. Less likely but an inner ear infection may cause similar symptoms. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
