I'm so sorry that George is having this problem. I certainly understand how scary it can be when your dog is not feeling well and you don't know what is going on. Unfortunately, the signs you are describing could be caused by a large number of things, so it's impossible for me to tell you what is going on without George having an examination. George certainly could be having a problem with his vestibular apparatus which controls his balance. Vestibular disease can cause nausea, so dogs will need medication to resolve the nausea if that is the case. I am attaching more information about that below. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=564 George could also have something abnormal with his blood pressure or his nervous system to cause him to be off balance. I would strongly recommend having your vet evaluate him to determine what might be going on and what treatment might be needed. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that George feels better soon. Thanks for using PetCoach.
