My girl Belle has been struggling lately with some kind of neurological disorder. At least that’s the current thinking. She is going to see a specialist soon so I can figure out what can be done to help her. This occurs randomly and I’ve seen it twice since mid October, which I’m afraid is becoming more often. But the symptoms I believe have been with her for most of her life. At first she would get lost in the backyard just sitting in one corner appearing afraid. I thought it just odd behavior and not significant. But that continued and I think has escalated to her symptoms lately. She walks as if she’s drunk, unstable, wobbly unsure of her movements. She also displays light sensitivity. If I go to pet her, as my hand crosses in front of her eyes she flinches. These two symptoms are consistent over the last several episodes which last several hours, sometimes through the night. It’s very distressing, I’m unsure at this point what if anything can be done. She just turned 9 in November. Her weight is stable, she still eats and drinks normally and she runs and plays everyday. She saw her vet 2 days ago and of course her symptoms had abated before hand. So nothing the vet could see. I have not captured this on video yet but when it occurs again I will.
