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

Question

Hello! Thomas is a miniature poodle. So Thomas was fine on friday, playing and running as normal. On Saturday he was very kept to himself and wouldn't eat. Then on monday he started walking as if he were drunk and bumping into things, Wednesday he was walking in circles. And today he is very stiff. He isn't vomiting nor does he have diarrhea. We are taking him tomorrow morning to vet but I'm very very worried right now. We are trying to feed him with a turkey baster.

Walking in circle is usually a vestibular sign, that can be caused by either a brain issue (often brain tumor), a severe middle ear infection or vestibular disease. i do not recommend waiting for tomorrow, he needs to see a vet right away.
