Thank you for posting this article, until today I'd never heard of this affliction. I woke up this morning to find my 16 year old dog vomiting, unable to walk/stand, tilting her head, and her eyes darting all over the place. My first thought was either a stroke or poisoning of some sort. The boyfriend and I rushed her to the Vet and were given old dog vestibular syndrome as the prognosis. After discussing options, we decided on an injection to help with the nasea and brought her home to follow the "wait and see" approach. She has already started drinking water unassisted if presented the water dish, but still has no interest in food. This article has been very comforting and reaffirmed my decision to give the old gal more time to recover. Hopefully, she'll be as good as ever in a few weeks and able to again run around the pasture with the chickens.

My 11 year old lab/chow mix just presented with these symptoms last night. The head tilt, drooling on that side and imbalance on the front leg on that side. No eye jiggling, but vet said this am that there was no nystagmus in her right eye, it does retract and the other one is fine. Appetite and drinking are good and gets around pretty good. She did vomit at the vet office but that's the only time. Vet gave prednisone and drew blood for labs and will check back Monday. I hope this is all it is and not a tumor or something like that.:(. Her symptoms dont seem that severe right now, and came out of nowhere last night. Thoughts?
Hi Martha~ it sounds like you are hopefully dealing with a case of vestibular disease, especially the way you are describing her symptoms (mild) and improvements. With vestibular disease, the signs generally come on just like you describe- out of nowhere. I hope she continues to make strides and gets back to her normal self soon :)

My Shiht-zu 11 years, Tony has been diagnosed with this. It has been 4 weeks. He did show some improvement at day 5 but got worse and now is trying again to improve. We are hand feeding and watering. Also having to hold him up to do his business. He also crys at night, we have left a night light on, I read they get confused in darkness from being dizzy. I wonder if he is also getting frustrated since he can no long fetch his ball or walk around. We are holding out since everything I have read said to give it time. I wonder to myself when the time will be, these sites say he is not in pain, but being stuck to his cushion bed and not being able to get around must not be very satisfying to him either.
Hi Dale~ I would expect that by 4 weeks he should be showing steady improvement. If symptoms persist or progress, we get concerned of a more central disease (brain tumor), but it is difficult to say without knowing or seeing your boy. With brain disease, pets can get a change in their behavior, and vocalizing is often one of the signs. And you are right~ quality of life is so very important and it is difficult to make such decisions. I hope he continues to improve for you.

My 14 yr old greyhound sharpie mix female (baby girl) dog suddenly seemed to have a really bad dream. I was awaken by her paddling in her sleep and she got up and kept ramming her head in the wall until I stopped her. Then she was falling down and paced until she got her bearings. She's always been prone to ear infections and had 2 hemotomas and tubes put in her left ear. the next morning I was out watering the plants and found 2 of my dining chairs on the floor. I immediately thought she had another bad dream but was thinking maybe she had an ear infection and was showing signs of degenerative disease, cause she has been becoming hard of hearing and she's been wetting her bed in her sleep. We took her to the vet and put on k-brovet. She didn't take it well, we only managed to give her 2 500mg in the evening and 2 in the morning. At this point stil not sure if she really had a seizure just a really bad dream. She panthed all day and wasn't interested in food or water and didn't take any naps. We stopped the k-brovet and spoke with the vet.
The following Saturday (this past weekend) we witnessed her having a seizure where she foamed at the mouth and defecated and urinated a mild episode followed 2 hours later which led to another after 3 hours. It seemed to occur when she would get into a deep sleep. 2-3 hours went by and nothing; so we thought the worst was over. We brought her upstairs to bed only to find ourselves waking to another seizure after 4 hours. We contacted the Animal Hospital, the person we spoke to advised us to monitor her; as long as between episodes she was bouncing back to her normal self and bring her in after 7 a.m. that there was nothing they could do more since we already did bloodwork last Saturday. She had another at 3 in the morning and bounced back again.
Then at 5 a.m. she had a minor one episode then panthed for an hour. Since began to not be interested in drinking water or food out of the bowl since. We figured she was so tired and just wanted to rest.
She's had a couple minor episodes later that morning but just wanted to go back to sleep. None since but it has been a scary horrible 36 hrs (about 8 total).
We are on the third day giving her water and food with a syringe. The vet said she may have a brain tumor. She's getting up from the ground on her own and she was always a girl who had anxiety quivers. She seems to have it when we take her outside like she's scared. She still refuses to eat sold food or drink from the bowl. She urinates on her own.
This occured several times until the last two seizure episodes she seemed so exhausted and panthed and not interested in water or food from her dish or walk the back yard to gain her bearings anymore. She's so scared now.
She hasn't had anymore seizure episodes only last night she panthed for an hour before she went to bed and her nose was warm.
Do you suspect it could be a brain tumor as well, this came on all of a sudden. She has always been such a mellow but skidish girl and would usually have anxiety quivers when it's closer to fireworks season or when she's scared. It's her personality.
Should I request for antibiotics and watch and see if she does have a bad case of inner ear infection? She face planted after the night of her initial bad dream and the day after. Now she seems only week in the legs while standing, quivering outside after we carry her to encourage her to urinate. Otherwise she lies down a lot nowadays and not interested to go go right away.
We are trying to feed her water and liquefied food with a syringe.

I am writing this absolutely devastated as my 14 year old German Shepherd girl developed these symptoms last Thursday. I called the vet who suggested a wait and see approach. Friday saw some improvement and Saturday even more. She was able to eat if hand fed and drink from her water bowl when brought to her. She was able to walk outside in the garden, on a leash, to do her business. She was very unsteady with a head tilt but seemed fine in herself. Saturday she was able to walk without assistance, albeit unsteadily, around the house and the eye flicking had stopped. Sunday saw a marked decline and from 6pm Sunday tea time she would not move. Her head tilt was much worse and she could barely lift her head. She was able to lick food off my hand but had to be given water through a syringe. I slept next to her every night from Thursday, never left her side. Monday (yesterday) there was no improvement. She had remained laid in the same position now for 16 hours and had peed where she lay. I gently cleaned her up and was so worried I called the vet to see her. He gently stood her up but she could not support her own weight and her front right paw was bent underneath her. She was panting and very distressed. I thought I would be given medication and was in complete shock when he suggested euthanasia. He said he thought something more serious was going on as she had markedly declined since Thursday. She died in my arms. After reading this I am now worrying in case I should have given her more time. I would have been quite happy to nurse her at home until she got better. I am so devastated and feel like I have let her down.

Cath, I'm so sorry for your loss, and in such a stressful, confusing way, too. I've done a lot of reading on grieving over the loss of a pet, and your feelings of guilt and disappointment are very common. Just know that your animal trusted you, and knew you were doing the best you could with the information you had. Sometimes the vet just feels or knows something that's hard to communicate, and perhaps you felt it, too, which is why you made that decision in that moment. Try not to be so hard on yourself, as I don't think your wonderful dog would want you to be unhappy.
Hi Cath~ First off, let me relay my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. I don't think there are many things more difficult than that experience. And secondly, it sounds like the difficult decision of helping her pass peacefully was the right one, as heart wrenching as it is to make. I mentioned in the blog, "There are times, however, when a physical exam points undeniably to a brain tumor, but these neurological exam findings are beyond the scope of discussion." I bring this up because it sounds like she had such an underlying problem. The way you described her return of clinical signs, the progression of her signs, and especially the knuckling of her right paw under her, all point to a tumor in her brain. And I want you to know that I am not saying these things to ease your heart- I, myself, would have made the exact same decision as you based on what you have shared. You did not let her down in the least- you were by her side, sharing your love for her, and letting her pass in as peaceful a way as possible. I hope this helps in some small way. In understanding, Shea Cox.

Hi Cath, My story mirrors yours very cloesely, except I still have my 14 year od Belgian sheep dog with me.10 months ago she develpoed vestibular syndrome. very severly. I too layed next to her side for 5 days. She could not stand on her own. She peed where she layed too. I gently cleaned her as well. I had to feed her water thru a syringe, and made a slurry of food home cooked meats, organ meats, probiotics, electrolytes. I was certain she would not recover, but never lost hope. it was touch & go. Slowly she recovered, but still has a head tilt and wants to spin/walk. I don't mind these changes. I'm just greatful that I still have her. I'm writing to express that you absoluty did everything within your power to help her. I don't believe in a wait and see approach. I've found much success with homeopathy. I used gelsinium, traumeel, pusattlia remedies. for the inflamation & nausea. i firmly believe that these helped speed her recovery. after all if inflamation causes this symdrome, why not try to alleviate it? Ive also discovered slippery elm bark helps with nausea and upset stomach along with ginger. I continue to use homeopathic remedies for her other health concerns. I know the pain of the loss of a beloved pet is devasting. I just lost my 19 yer old Cat, 3 weeks later our 10 month old kitten snuck out and was hit by a car. they lay to rest in my back yard. Our Dear Belgian is clearly morning their loss, I wish I could find a remedy to help ease the devasting loss of those so dear to us. maybe just knowing that others share in your loss and that you are not alone helps?

I have an almost 5 years old St. Bernard. In the Past few days he has been having trouble with his motions, bad stomach. Today when we woke up we got to see his shit in the house (which never happens), turns out he is not able to move much and has been shivering/shaking(not out of cold) with long breaths with constant trembling. He is not able to lift his body, and can't be taken to the Vet as he is huge to carry... I'm really worried, thinking either he has got a stroke or may be paralysis. Any suggestions as to what actually is going on with him?

We are going thorugh this with our Cocker Max. We have him on Antibo.and Pred. we are seeing improvement, but still have to lift him and some times he gets going and out side to do his business,he stands for a while and eats and drinks out of his bowl and some times on a plate easer. Our vet did not metion Old Dog Sbyndrome. We are going to watch for about a week or two. I guess if his bad days are more than his good it is time. A tough dicissoion to make. So sorry for your loss, all dogs go to heaven, and we meet them later.

Cath, first as a many pet owner, doing this for other reasons, understand your pain.
My mixed dog, Arfy, been told by vet 7.5 years ago when saving him from the adopted brought back twice reason for the "shot". He is something Akita. Others have said "some wolf". I don't know either was but we love him. Friday will be three weeks since he woke us up, as many, thinking seizure or stroke. 1100 later, diagnosed hour away vet ER. Immediately said IVD. Never heard of it he was 70% and in the last 36, seems to have regressed back to a week ago. Putting our precious daily joys down comes to our mind, we are scared, we are too close to be objective.
I am not sure how long this will take, as long as I can see that smile, that tail wag, the vet continues to assure us, we will, as you had to make the awful choice of thinking of your baby, I will make that decision. I do not think you were and us either, what is best for our pets, just harder to make this tough decision.
I am a 53 yr old man, not to macho to admit I cried reading your story.

Hi, my 13+yr old had to be rushed to the vets on New Years day 1012. the vet i saw suggested a stroke. the condition got worse when we got back home and eventually Clova was completly of her legs. My own vet came to see her two days later. i asked him what was the diff to tis 'stroke' and vestibulars. he told me this IS vestibulars. and also that it is one of the few occassions that he goes out to a house to pts a pet and then advised wait and see. my bitch had the VD severly and after a week my vet said we need to have a think now what we do. i told him i wanted to wait and see for longer as with each day there was slight improvement. the most distressing was my bitch being unable to stand and toilet, she would store it for about 17hrs, get v stressed, puffing and panting then the floods came. after two weeks she was up on her wobbly legs. i know i may not have her much longer as she now has Laryngyal paralasis, but i have had extra time and appreciate that time. Clova celbrated her 14th birthday 7 wks ago!

My 13 year old german shepard/chow mix had an episode last night right after he ate. Eyes darting, drooling, some whining, unable to stand, falling over to one side when we did help him up. We thought he must be having a seizure or stroke so we took him right to the emergency room. Once there, the staff evaluated him and thought that he has vestibular disease. His symptoms vanished as quickly as they had come. When we left the clinic he was able to walk on his own and even climb into the car with very little difficulty. 3 hours later he was still fine, no eye movement, no listing to one side. The clinic had given us meclizine to give to him. I gave him a pill, brought him into the bedroom, and we went to sleep. About 1 am he started vomiting every hour on the hour until 5 am and his eye movement returned. It has been 16 hours since then and his eyes are still moving on their own. He can stand up on his own but not very well, his head leans to the right quite a bit, he will take food and water from his bowl if I hold it under his nose. He still wags his tail and smiles at me when I come in the room so I know he feels pretty good. I just wish his eyes would stop! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Don~ I'm so sorry to hear about your baby :( It is tough to have to go through these experiences... by now, I would expect him to be getting slowly better. The difficult thing with these signs, is that every pet can present differently, take completely different paths towards improvement or decline, and can have any one of many underlying causes going on that all give you the same clinical picture. For example, sudden onset of signs, rapid improvement, and then return of signs again can indicate a small bleed in the brain; but on the other side, it could also mean simple exacerbation of vestibular disease. At this time, the focus is mainly on comfort measures, safety, and nursing care. You can give Meclizine 25 mg once daily for several days in a row without harm. Keeping him in a darkened, low stimulus room can help with the spinning (and subsequent vomiting). It can take a while for the nystagmus (eye movement) to resolve, but that is usually one of the first things to go away. I'd be concerned if this is still present, and if so, you should follow up with his vet. I am glad to hear his tail is wagging and he is happy... it is emotionally frustrating to have to 'wait and see' what progresses or improves, and I wish you both the best. Keep us posted.

Last September, my 6 year old sheltie/Australian Shepherd mix began barking episodes ..for 10 mins, two to three times a day..In October, after medicating, my Vet Said she believed, based on her educated intuition and 30 years experience, that Little Zeke has a brain tumour...( I must include here that he developed a paralysis(partial) on right legs when he was 2 years old...acupuncture reduced the severity but he has limping with clubbing sometimes in the right front leg.).Vet believes the old injury and these barking episodes may be related...Now, eight months later, he is on a cocktail of supplements, pheno and prednisone(every other day)..but he still barks..and it's an anxious bark, staring at nothing...The curious part is that the bark episodes (142 times in 30 mins -sometimes only 10 barks) are within an hour to one and half hours of eating..the other thing, is that if I stroke him, pet him, barks stop! If I stop, he resumes this mindless barking.. I tried for one month an experiment recommended by vet, of NOT touching him at all..the barks continued..so rather that leave him in what appears to be a fearful state, I stroke him, to calm him. At 6 years(when it began) is he a senior dog ? I must note here that he is although a little subdued still has a good life for about 70% of his days...Anyhelp out there ?

My approximately 11 year old dog started the barking episodes in the last few months, usually after eating. I really didn't relate that to anything, and didn't mention it to the vet. when I took her this past week. She started the head tilt and stumbling on Sunday so I took her to the vet. Her eyes were moving rapidly to the side, so he concluded that she had vestibular disease. He seemed to think it was not ear-related, but now I wonder. She is blind, but has been able to sniff her way around. Now she just runs into everything, and I have to carry her outside. He seemed to think she would get over this in 3 days to 2 weeks, but I really wonder.
Have you learned anything else about your dog? I hate seeing my dog like this. She sleeps much of the time, but I would like to know if she is in pain or just frustrated because her balance is very unstable.

Dr. Cox,
I came here to ask, cried my eyes out about Cath's decision
Arfy, male, 9 years. Bam, 3 am wake up, he is left, stiff, certainly trying to understand it himself. First thoughts as many, seizure or stroke. He was so bad, it could have been seen as a broken back. Freaked, rushed to vet ER hour away, first look, check, then eyes and immediately said vestibular disease, explained it using the human vertigo times ten.
Arfys improvement has been much slower. Starting last week, he could manage drunk, left side tilt, everything crashes and leans left.. Up until late Monday night, he was even able to sorta take his position to poop, with some stumbling. Continues to pee with a four legs down stand pee. Noticeable Tuesday, he went south a bit. Instead of running somewhat straight with a left lean, he really started floating to the left, so bad, makes a half moon if you will trying to get right, as he is flowing 10 yards to then head a bit straight.
Reading what you posted here, I think the MRI or CT are in order. Money is not the object, my kids cost me more and I love my dogs more. ;) I read you say tumor possible in the brain. If this, I assume a qualified radiologist report would be clear enough to know operate or not operate?
Thank you Dr. Cox

Hi Scott~ I hope I am replying at a time where this still helps (I'm sorry, but I am not alerted as to when a new comment is made, otherwise I would have replied sooner)... First off, please let me offer my heartfelt empathy for the difficult situation your family is experiencing. The next step would be to consult a neurologist, who would perform advanced imaging; the neurologist and radiologist would then evaluate the images to see if a tumor or other problem is present. The neurologist generally oversees the MRI/CT while the pet is anesthetized, and from there, it can be determined which modality would work best based on the images that are interpreted by the radiologist. So, yes, moving forward with a neurologist consult and advanced imaging would be the next steps. I hope this helps answer your question, and again, my thoughts are with you and Arfy.

With the exception of 'vomiting', my 19+ y/o mix breed dog has all the symptoms, at first, I thought he was unable to walk due to hip dysplasia[even tho I make sure he takes a glucosamine tablet daily]. When he defecated inside due to inability to walk down one step, I panicked, we have a vet appt first thing tomorrow, hopefully[& prayerfully] it will be something simple like vestibular disease...please send response.

Hi Susan~ an MRI is the best way to evaluate what is going on from what you describe, and it will help "cut to the chase" so to speak. An MRI can help evaluate for inner ear disease (that you cannot see on an exam) as well as any problems with the brain tissue. With that said, a blood test will be part of the work up (not just the MRI).
Contrary to popular understanding, a blood test can not tell you if you are "dealing with something else." I often hear people say that "the blood test didn't reveal any cancer," when in fact, there are not any specific blood tests for cancer screening (like in people, such as a prostate cancer screen).
What a blood test can tell you, is general organ function; i.e., the kidneys and liver are healthy, the electrolytes are normal, etc.
To further illustrate the "frustration" of a single test, if you see an increase in white blood cell levels, that doesn't necessarily mean an infection like you would think... i can also mean inflammation, certain types of cancer (again, NOT a diagnosis for cancer or screening, but a piece of a big, big puzzle), or sometimes even stress.
Unfortunately, there are very few diseases in medicine (human or animals) where one test gives you an answer. Oftentimes, the more important thing a single test can reveal, is, what it is NOT going on.
When I am explaining the need for various diagnostics to a pet parent, I use the analogy of a literal puzzle, and each diagnostic gives us one piece of the puzzle. The more "pieces" of the puzzle we can lay down on the table, the clear the picture (diagnosis) becomes.
I hope this helps! Good wishes to Lexi and your family.

Hi Dr. Cox,
Do you see dogs who have repeat episodes of IVD?
Any thoughts? Brain tumor? (would symptoms dissapear in between episodes for such long periods of time?). Focal seizures? Odd version of IVD?
Thank you for your comments,
Hi Anonymous~ Yes, dogs can have repeated episodes of vestibular disease, and I have seen dogs that recover quickly (just as you experienced). Some reports state that these rapidly presenting and resolving episodes are due to sudden bleeds in the brain but the jury is still out as far as a definitive answer for this. This may be why your vet prescribed the aspirin/plavix.
A brain tumor (unfortunately) has to be considered due to the recurrence of the signs and her age, breed. And to answer your question, yes, symptoms can disappear between episodes. An MRI is the only way to tell what it happening.
I hope this helps, please keep us posted. My thoughts are with you; it's hard on the heart to see our babies go through this. And, as an aside, my hat goes off to you for opening your home to an older dog! Those that adopt geriatric pups have a special place in my heart :)

Hello Dr. Cox,
About a month ago my 8 yr old shitzu Myles was in a car accident one week before we were scheduled to fly back to the US from living overseas for 2 yrs. I fortunately did not witness it but was on site of the accident just as it had happened. Surprisingly, he survived the accident and the vets went above and beyond to save him. We quickly realized he'd been hit in the head but the swelling went down fast enough that the vets believed there was a very good chance for a full recovery. But they had to remove both eyes as they were causing him more harm than good. He's flown home last weekend and seems to be perking up. But what we are left with is not just blindness but a very considerable head tilt. He stands up from time to time as if to try and get from point A to B but only ends up walking in circles. I really don't know what to do. I've not taken him to our vet here because I just want to give him some time to just be home for a while to just rest. He's eating well (his jaw was broken but seems to be healing fine). He always waits to be put outside to use the restroom. He certainly responds positively to our voices and touch. We've had a little tail wagging and barking at the door. Just no improvement on the walking. Do you think there is any chance he might someday be able to get around? I know, loaded question. Just thought in case you had ever known of a dog in this situation. Blind and with the head tilt is a tough combination. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Thanks.

Dr Cox I have a chihuahua, the vet thinks he is 12 years old. Two weeks ago he woke me with a yelp at 5am. He had his head turned to his left. We thought he had a crick in his neck. He has walking eating peeing pooping like always but had the head tilt. We thought he had a stroke. He got better then a week later had to take him to the vet because he would bark and it sounded like a painful bark it did not sound like his usual bark. I thought his ear was painful or itchy because when I would rub his ear he would push it down on my hand. The vet gave him clavamox for 1 week and said he has an ear infection very deep down. Also gave him a shot dexamethasone. Other than the head tilt you wouldn't have known anything was wrong with him. But 2 days later all he wants to do is eat and sleep. But now he gets up and will step backwards 2 or 3 steps and lay back down. He knows where he wants to go but has lost some ability to get there sometimes. If he thinks he is going to get some food he always manages to get there but it is hard for him. About a year ago I think he made have had a seizure because for about 10 minutes he was laying down head up but shaking not responding to my voice. It hasn't happened again to my knowledge. Does this sound like vestibular disease to you and if so will he have setbacks? I have read a lot on this but every dog is different. He has not vomited or does not have the eye movements. He does squat to pee. Your opinion means a lot to me sounds like you know a lot on the subject. We are leaning on putting him down as we don't have money for xrays and mri. We love him like our child but dont want him to suffer. Do you have any suggestions on what I can expect if it is a tumor. Thank you

Hello, our 14 year old Golden Retriever was diagnosed with Vestibular Disease yesterday afternoon. We brought her home from the vet and she hasn't been able to walk since. Her back legs stick straight out and when we try to assist her to stand or go outside, her front legs shoot out and she "faceplants" into the ground. She is on antiobiotics and drops for an ear infection and an anti-nausea medicine. Is the absolute lack of use of her legs a common symptom of vestibular disease? Most sites/info. lists staggering, trouble walking, circling, etc. but NOT the complete inability to use legs.
Thank you

Hi Cara,
I'm not an expert, but my dog (a 15 year old german sheperd mix) had very similar symptoms (inability to use her legs, doing faceplants, etc.) Her symptoms went on for almost 5 days before she started making any improvement. Now, 4 weeks later, she's doing MUCH better. Have you tried using a towel as a sling to hold her legs up? If you put the towel towards her midsection it might help keep her back legs up and prevent faceplants.

Our 14 year old dog couldn't stand at all without assistance. It's normal. Not to worry. Comfort and containment are the most important things. You want to limit movement. It might take a week before you see any real improvement, but I'm happy to report that, after 3.5 weeks, our dog is back to 100% herself. Hang in there.

i hope this helps future folks that visit here. our 16 year old "baby" got this last week, after a night at the animal hospital and one night at our vets office, 5 doctors agreed it was idiotpathic vestibular, we came home with him. we bought a playpen at target . he is 34 pounds. it said it can hold 30 . but is looks like it could go up to 50 pounds. this way it restricts his movements. we couldnt get him to eat , but he is drinking from his bowl if we lift it up to him. after trying everything to get him to eat including baby food via a syringe , we had sucess with slices of baloney and american cheese( ripped into small pieces) and putting/shoving into his mouth. he looks like he is on thmend. everytime he got up or fussed in the playpen we carried him outside ASAP and he was urinating every few hours. as a safe guard we bought huge wee wee pads and put them on top of the comforter which is on top of the play pen matteress. i hope this helps. needless to say we thought when he sudeenly got this we thought he was a goner and we were hysterical. lots of kisses seems to help too !

My dog is 14 yrs old and has signs of vestibular she has the head tilt,leans to the left and is having a hard time holding her pee.Her 1st bout was back in Dec.and she got better over a couple of months. Now she has had another episode in Sept.and is having a hard time. She also has cushings which is making her pee alot. She is eating again after a week of hardly eating anything. Now she eats soft food and noodles and some cheese.Some days are better than others but I think she has more than vestibular.From what I have read vestibular gets better over time.I think she might have a small tumor. She is still able to walk and go out on her own. But it's hard to watch her wobble around and go in circles. She does not seem to be in pain she does not whine or make any noises.I'm not going to put her down until she tells me or shows me she can't function with a quality of life. Anyone else have the same issues with an elderly dog? Thanks

My 13 yr old Shepherd/Boxer mix started the head tilt thing a few days ago. Yesterday she peed either when sleeping or because she got startled when the phone rang. Tonight she got herself downstairs by pretty much falling down. She does not have barking episodes and she seems to be eating, no vomiting. She is 70 lbs. She has always been a nibbler, not a gobbler, and she usually eats when we eat. We put a baby gate to keep her from coming upstairs tonight. She is walking in circles and stumbling, and I've noticed nystagmus. I'm so worried. But she does not seem to be in any pain. What can I do for her?

I had a 14 yr old Lab who all the sudden last week could not steady herself on her left hind leg. The following day, both hind legs were so weak she could not stand or walk on her own. I took her to the vet immediately and she was put on steroids to treat a possible disk issue. We discussed that there could be other causes, but we'd have to run costly MRI scans , so we opted to try steroids first. Two days later, she could not use her front left leg either. We had to completely support her if she needed to move or go outside. She also did not appear to be able to walk straight when guided, on her harnesses ) and would run into things. The following day ( we were heading into vet later that day) she had a seizure. Vets said it was most likely brain tumor or strokes. We put her to sleep after the seizure (she had two smaller seizures within the hour of the first big one.) It seemed whatever was happening to her was progressing, which seems different than the other posts I've read on this topic. I hope we made the right decision. It absolseutly broke my heart. She was my first baby before my children and brought joy to my heart each day.

I understand where you are coming from. I just put my 14 year old Lab down, my heart is breaking. I am now wondering if I did the right thing. His back legs collapsed, and was having that back and forth motion with his eyes. I wish I would of know about this disease ahead of time. The doctor mentioned it, but said if it was her dog she would put him down. Sometimes I don't think the vet. knows everything. I am just sick about it. Feeling like I made the wrong decision. Now there is nothing I can do about it. I had him cremated. I just feel sick all day long after reading deeper into this disease. So please everyone, don't make the mistake I did. I just didn't want him to suffer.

My 12 year old Springer Spaniel has developed a head tilt. At first his head just twisted to the left and he was walking squint. Then recently he has been very unsteady on his legs an then randomly collapses. He lies on his side looking really confused about why he keeps falling down. It's as though his brains wanting to do something but his legs just don't want to. We have the vets on Wesnesday. He walks around a lot unsettled and takes a while to lie himself down. At night he wanders around slightly whining then settles for a while then gets back up it's really heart breaking to see him in this way and the cost of MRI scans is just so out of reach. This page has been very helpful though I hope we can fix him

we are on day 19 of our vestibular syndrome for our 12 year old springer spaniel. We were there when the onset occurred.. watching tv in the living room. He threw up 3 times (very forthy) and eyes darting back and forth.. and shaking.
He is slowly getting back to normal. I did not take him to the emergency vet..I called them and they said it usually resolves it self. My vet said.. lots of TLC and PATIENCE!!
hope yours gets better also..

For as long as I can remember, my mother attempted her ideal to impress upon me the importance of correct diet and physical exercise.
After the usual spiel of how I really should walk much more and eat all of my greens, she often finished by telling me the very same thing that all mothers stated. That my health was no laughing matter.
Like an obedient daughter I learned to love my greens and have always remained active. Yet in later years it was not my physical wellness that would grow to be a concern. It was my mental health. Because I had struggled with bouts of mild depression for most of my life, I did not notice how miserable I had turn into because turning the big "40″. That is until lately when, once once more my mom came to the rescue. Over tea I confided in her that I was at my wits finish and how good it would be just to laugh again. Her advise, as usual was simple and to the point. She told me to laugh!
When she explained that the simple act of laughing can make you really feel far better , I did laugh. How could performing some thing as straightforward as laughing support me feel greater? But becoming the inquisitive form, I decided to come across out for myself. And the laugh was on me.
I identified out that laughter is very good for a fantastic numerous things Laughter boosts your self confidence Laughing makes you look younger Laughing increases endorphin levels, and can support calm discomfort.
Laughter lowers the stress hormone Cortisol, and promotes relaxation, as well as fighting belly fat. Laughter stimulates the heart causing elevated blood circulation that is stated to be equivalent to any other aerobic physical exercise
. So don`t be afraid. Go ahead and tell your mother she was wrong. Your health is a laughing matter.

Case Details
The navigation select boxes below will direct you to the selected page when you hit enter.
FN[1] It is undisputed that defendants are the dog's owners, and the dog was loose on the day in question. Apparently, defendants were not present at the scene and were unaware of these events at the time they occurred.
FN2 Civil Code section 3342, subdivision (a), provides in part: �The owner of any dog is liable for the damages suffered by any person who is bitten by the dog while in a public place or lawfully in a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner's knowledge of such viciousness. ...�
FN3 Since the Supreme Court did not limit these decisions to prospective application, we conclude they have retroactive effect in all cases not yet final. (See Newman v. Emerson Radio Corp. (1989) 48 Cal.3d 973, 978-979, 985- 990 [258 Cal.Rptr. 592, 772 P.2d 1059]; Li v. Yellow Cab Co., supra, 13 Cal.3d at p. 829.)
FN4 The parties also note the existence of a county �leash law� ordinance. (El Dorado County Ord., § 6.12.070.) El Dorado County Ordinance section 6.12.070(D) provides in part: �Any person may take up and deliver to the animal control officer any animal at large on public property or upon the person's private property.� Because we find a duty in Civil Code section 3342, we do not have to address this ordinance.
FN5 Evidence Code section 669 provides in part: �(a) The failure of a person to exercise due care is presumed if: [¶] (1) He violated a statute, ordinance, or regulation of a public entity; [¶] (2) The violation proximately caused death or injury to person or property; [¶] (3) The death or injury resulted from an occurrence of the nature which the statute, ordinance, or regulation was designed to prevent; and [¶] (4) The person suffering the death or the injury to his person or property was one of the class of persons for whose protection the statute, ordinance, or regulation was adopted. [¶] (b) This presumption may be rebutted by proof that: [¶] (1) The person violating the statute, ordinance, or regulation did what might reasonably be expected of a person of ordinary prudence, acting under similar circumstances, who desired to comply with the law; ...�
FN6 We note that Nelson v. Hall, supra, 165 Cal.App.3d 709, was an action alleging violation of the dog bite statute (Civ. Code, § 3342; fn. 2, ante). Nevertheless, we do not believe that statute would defeat primary assumption of risk under the Supreme Court's recent pronouncements, because it would most likely be concluded that the dog bite statute was not intended to protect veterinarians.
FN7 Because the recent Knight decision controls this case and defeats defendants' entitlement to summary judgment, we need not address the parties' further points and authorities regarding whether plaintiff had knowledge of the specific risk of rabies, whether the �rescue doctrine� cancels out the assumption of risk defense, whether plaintiff's conduct was unreasonable, and whether the assumption of risk doctrine should be abolished.

I took my daughters to see WALL-E on Monday and I must say it was not only the best Pixar movie I have ever seen, but also one of the best films this year. The animation was amazing and the storyline was accessible to all ages.
What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? Wall-E, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for, as he adventures across the galaxy chasing his dream. - Yahoo! Movies
This got me thinking about my top five favorite movies from Pixar, other than WALL-E.

August 1, 2014
A new study involving a popular dietary supplement found some alarming results.
Researchers say that supplement could increase your risk of having a heart attack.
Many women take them to ward off osteoporosis, but new research suggests calcium supplements may increase heart attack risk by as much as 30 percent.
New Zealand and American researchers pooled the results of 11 clinical trials, in which 12 thousand people over 40 were randomly assigned to take either a placebo or at least 500 milligrams of calcium a day for an average of almost 4 years.
The rate of heart attacks was small. About 2.7 percent of the participants taking calcium went into cardiac arrest, compared with 2.2 percent of those taking a placebo.
Yet, because so many people take calcium supplements, researchers worry it could represent a large number of additional heart attacks.
Bone loss and fractures are a major health concern for older people. Meanwhile,
calcium supplements have become increasingly popular since studies have shown they help to build bone density and reduce fractures.
More research is needed to confirm the results. But if you take calcium supplements talk to your doctor.

THURSDAY / April 24
Race 1: (8) Spanish Pipedream is the higher price of the two Wesley Ward trained-horses so I'll take a shot there. Exacta boxes 8-2, 8-3, 8-9
Race 2: (7) Regulus has three wins on synthetic and the second-off-a-layoff has been a good angle for this trainer. Exacta boxes 7-5, 7-3, 7-4
Race 3: (2) Olympic Avenue drops in class and trainer McPeek hits at 20 percent with second-off-layoff types. Also, this horse got caught up in a hot pace last time and find the pace scenario more favorable in this spot. Exacta boxes 2-8, 2-7, 2-3
Race 4: (10) Blarp had a bad post in his last start and I like that Rosario keeps the mount. Also, the field he faced last time may have been better than this one. Exacta boxes 10-9, 10-5, 10-1
Race 5: (10) Breaking Ball picks up Leparoux in the saddle and the trainer hits at a 19 percent rate with newcomers to the barn. This one also is working well and likes synthetic surfaces. Exacta boxes 10-9, 10-8, 10-3
Race 6: (1) Can'thelpbelieving and (3) Scoria represent a tossup for me. I'll go with the former for the win pick, since the trainer is having a good meet and this one faced a tougher bunch last time. I'll play both on tops in exactas: 1 & 3 with 1,3 5,8
Race 7: (9) Bellarmine loves Keeneland's polytrack and was the easiest kind of winner last time, so the trainer sees an opportunity to grab another check before the meet ends. (10) Patrioticandproud is dangerous at a price here, too. Exacta boxes 9-10, 9-5, 9-2
Race 8: (10) Caroline Thomas showed an affinity for this turf course last fall and she had a troubled trip in her last race, so her price might float up given that race was better than it looks. Also, Mott's barn has been a little cold at this meet so I'm taking a shot that Romantica might be short off the layoff but obviously, she's the one to beat. Exacta boxes 10-11, 10-9, 10-6, 10-2, 10-8
Race 9: (9) Format V comes from the Amoss barn and those horses have been firing at this meet. Also, this one has four wins on synthetics. Exacta boxes 9-12, 9-8, 9-6
Late Pick 4 part-wheel: 1,3 with 9,10 with 10, 9, 11, 2, 8, 6 with 9, 12, 8

Restoring a Historic Landmark
Clair Brothers Audio Systems is proud to have been part of the restoration of the historic, 74-year-old Franklin Theatre, in Franklin, TN. The Franklin Theatre recently re-opened to the public following a four-year, multi-million-dollar renovation.
During the renovations, the biggest challenge was that space was at a premium in the 300-seat theatre with a small stage. Clair Brothers was called upon to design and build several custom solutions to maximize every inch of the historic landmark.
"We provided design/build and consultation services, bringing our production experience to the client to make the venue work for visiting artists. And as always, we looked for the right solutions, not just the expedient ones," said Dan Heins, Project Manager, Clair Brothers.
"For example, we worked with JR Clancey to provide a line shaft to move the cinema speaker system in and out, so they would not have to be stored. This saved space and labor when switching the house from Live Mode to Cinema Mode," said Heins.
The new Franklin Theatre now continues the tradition of showing movies, but the renovation project has made it possible to add a new dimension to Main Street – live music. With a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system, and undeniable charm, the Franklin Theatre is destined to be an entertainment and cultural icon for years to come.

Deferral of Admission
Students may defer admission to the College up to the first day of classes. Students must inform the Admissions Office to complete this process. Once classes begin, students cannot defer their status. If students exit the College, they must submit a new application for admission. Students who defer their admission at JSC but enroll in another college must reapply as transfer students.

Given its black-and-white, highly objective nature, mathematics can seem like a relatively impersonal academic discipline. At Lakeland, however, you will discover that mathematics, like every other subject, is taught with a personal touch.
"We have teachers who will really get to know you personally," says Heather Mollé, assistant professor of mathematics. "We'll be able to monitor you as you work your way through the program, encourage you to participate in extra activities if we think you're not living up to your potential, give you extra help if we see that you're struggling in a particular class and write a personal letter of recommendation when you're ready to apply for jobs."
Formula for success
From pre-calculus to differential equations and linear algebra to topology and complex variables, Lakeland offers a full range of mathematics classes that will fit into the career path you choose. Mathematics can be a standalone major, but it also fits nicely as a major or minor with other majors such as chemistry, computer science and education.
Lakeland College graduates with degrees in mathematics pursue a wide variety of professions. The mathematics education program yields high school mathematics teacher certification. Graduate school is an option, as is becoming an actuary. Applied mathematics, which involves data collection and analysis in the corporate world, is another common direction mathematics majors take.
"Working as a mathematician for a business, you would help your company solve problems using data," Mollé says. "For example, a trucking company might want to determine which routes would be the most cost effective or would allow deliveries to arrive in the shortest amount of time; figuring that out involves math. You're given a problem, and you use math to find a solution."

Snapshot of Success
Name: Jay Freerking
Hometown: Mauston, Wis.
Title: Math teacher, JV girls' head basketball coach
Business: Cuba City High School
Jay arrived at Lakeland with a passion for math and basketball. Now, a few short years later, he's enjoying a blossoming career that involves both interests.
The 2011 Lakeland grad teaches mathematics and is the head girls JV basketball coach at Cuba City High School.
"My mom was a teacher, and I wanted to follow in her footsteps, help people out and pass that passion on to my students," says Jay. "I always enjoyed math and crunching numbers."
Jay, who stands 6-10, had to stop playing basketball at Lakeland due to a back injury. But he continued to be a part of the program, supporting his teammates and learning nuances of the game while steadily sparkling in the classroom. That combination of academic and extra-curricular dedication planted the seeds for his career.
Always a self-starter and motivated person, Jay blanketed the state's schools with applications as his college graduation approached. When Cuba City High School called him with an offer to interview, he jumped in the car and drove 192 miles. As he pulled back into the Lakeland College campus more than three hours after leaving Cuba City, he received a call with a job offer. He had a full-time job before graduating.
At Lakeland, Jay says, he developed his own philosophies on teaching based on what he learned in the classroom and from his professors. In addition, he enjoyed delving deeper into math.
"My experience at Lakeland was worthwhile," he says now. "If I had to sum it up with one word, it would be worthwhile. Everything fell into place for me there."
Mathematics at Lakeland
Students who major in mathematics will:
- Understand and apply the basic concepts of algebra, analysis and geometry
- Develop and deploy high-level skills in problem solving, inductive reasoning, logical thought, formal mathematical definitions, proofs and computations, including the use of computer software
- Communicate their findings effectively by formulating precise definitions, stating clear theorems and constructing formal proofs
- Apply mathematical ideas and tools, including computer technology, to real-world problems

|ideal gas
|Also called: perfect gas a hypothetical gas which obeys Boyle's law exactly at all temperatures and pressures, and which has internal energy that depends only upon the temperature. Measurements upon real gases are extrapolated to zero pressure to obtain results in agreement with theories relating to an ideal gas, especially in thermometry
ideal gas n.
A gas that, when kept at a constant temperature, would obey gas laws exactly. No known gas is an ideal gas.
|ideal gas (ī-dē'əl) Pronunciation Key
A hypothetical gas whose molecules bounce off each other (and the boundaries of their container) with perfect elasticity and have negligible size, and in which the intermolecular forces acting between molecules not in contact with each other are also negligible. Such a gas would obey the gas laws (such as Charles's law and Boyle's law) exactly at all temperatures and pressures. Most actual gases behave approximately as ideal gases, except at very low temperatures (when the potential energy of their intermolecular forces is high relative to the kinetic energy of the molecules and becomes significant), and under very high pressures (when the molecules are packed so close together that close-range intermolecular forces become significant).

Ironclad is an Open Source project, sponsored by Resolver Systems. Its aim is to make CPython C Extensions usable from IronPython. Resolver One includes Ironclad to provide access to C extensions from your spreadsheets.
The Challenge
IronPython is a great addition to the stable of Python interpreters:
The challenge is set by the "most" in that last point.
IronPython handles any Python library that is written in pure Python. Unfortunately, some of the existing libraries — normally for performance reasons — have portions written in C. It is these libraries that do not work with IronPython.
Most IronPython users don't care about this drawback — there's so much you can do with the pure Python parts of the standard APIs, and those that don't work often have perfectly good .NET equivalents.
However, it's a pain to have to port existing code from Python libraries to .NET ones. Worse, some of the best libraries, NumPy being a shining example, have no good, easily-available .NET alternatives.
The Solution
Ironclad enables IronPython users to use CPython C Extensions. It achieves this by acting as the glue between the IronPython interpreter and these extensions.
Ironclad is being developed by Resolver Systems, though anyone is welcome to join in. It's available under the MIT License, so you can use it for free with any IronPython project, and not just with ours.
Because NumPy is the most popular C extension, most of the work on Ironclad has been devoted to making it work. The current release, 0.8.5, supports most of it — the only exceptions being memory-mapped files (currently under development), Unicode data, and the numpy.distutils package.
How to get it and how to join in
There are two useful resources:
Ironclad is free to use, under the terms of the MIT License.
For organisations that need help, support, or consultancy beyond what we give for free on the mailing list, we can offer Ironclad consultancy on a daily basis; please contact email@example.com for details.

The Daily Star
---- — I was very happy to see the front page article in The Daily Star in which Oneonta police Sgt. Ralph Pajerski was quoted as saying that no problems were reported during Oneonta's First Night Celebration.
As a member of the First Night Board and staff of LEAF, this was the third major event I had the honor of helping with in the past year. Fifteen thousand people attended the Hometown 4th of July, 6,000 attended Five Star Subaru's Susquehanna Balloon Festival and an estimated 3,000 people came out for New Year's Eve. At each event, thousands of people gathered to have fun without one reported theft, fight or incident of any kind!
Oneonta First Night is an all-volunteer organization and we always worry about assuming liability for large events. To see everyone enjoying themselves on New Year's Eve in an alcohol-free, family-friendly celebration of arts and culture really made me proud of our local people and was a great way to start the New Year!
Thank you so much to everyone who attended. You made the night so special!

The answer is 3 (choice E). If 3n-4=n+2... you need to breakdown the equation. Add 4 to both sides. So that leaves you with 3n=n+6. Subtract 1n from both sides. So that leaves you with 2n=6. Divide both sides by 2... therefore n=3.

Swimming may not be advised at the North Overlook, but that did not deter several beach combers Tuesday afternoon.
The Army Corps of Engineers at Lake Red Rock tests the quality of the water near the beach on a weekly basis. If bacteria levels are too high, signs are posted that indicate that the quality is not optimal.
Perry Thostenson, Assistant Operations Manager at Red Rock, said there is no "smoking gun" or single cause for the bacteria levels. Gulls remain a problem, as does runoff from other areas within the watershed. The Corps has been trying to address these issues.
Though the bacteria level may test high, Thostenson said similar tests on the water, in deeper areas of the lake, show that the quality of the water overall in the lake is outstanding.
"It's the same lake," Thostenson said.
Even when water quality is good, there is still a risk of ingesting pathogens. Thostenson did not want to discourage anyone from enjoying the lake, but they need to be aware of this.
One couple enjoying the lake on Tuesday said they were not concerned about bacteria. People did not worry about such things for years and they were fine. Around 40-50 people were on the beach at the time of the interview, with several of them enjoying the cool water.
The water level at the lake topped out at 765 feet during this Spring's heavy rainfall. This caused some minor recreational disruptions, according to Thostenson. The "normal" pool for the lake is 742 feet. As of Tuesday afternoon, the level was at 764.47 feet.
Memorial Day did not go well for the Corps, due to cold temperatures. Campsites around the lake have been consistently full since then.
Projects for this summer include finishing the Corps' maintenance building and more work on the dam mechanical project. Dam work is expected to resume in July and may lead to partial closures of T-15.
