Why is my dog suddenly wobbling, dazed, and acting like he's drunk?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | English Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 12 days old | 25 lbs

My dog randomly started wobbling his head, he seems like he doesn't want to walk. It's like he's drunk, or in a daze kind of? I'm not sure what caused this or why he's doing it.

Poor Shaggy. It sounds like it could be a few possible things. A toxin? Got in to a medication? Marijuana? Low blood sugar? Some other neurologic condition. Hard to say. But this could be serious. With these signs I recommend going to the ER. Also check all over the house for anything Shaggy could have gotten in to!
