Is my 11-year-old Lab's weird walk and big eyes a neurological issue?

Question

11 YERAR OLD LAB ACTING WEIRD TODAY. WALKING LIKE SHES STUCK IN THE MUD ESPECIALLY WITH THE RIGHT SIDE. EYES ARE LARGER THAN NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN TREATING AN EAR INFECTION WITH MOTOZOL EAR DROPS PRESCRIBED BY MY VET. HIP ISSUES RUN IN HER FAMILY. BUT IM WORRIED THAT IS A NEUROLOGICAL ISSUE

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

You are right she could be suffering from a neurological issue, especially if her eyes are larger than normal, and having trouble walking on one side the most. I would recommend taking her into a vet right away for an exam, as time is of the essence in potential neurological problems. The vet can do a physical exam, neurological exam, blood tests, and a urinalysis to diagnose what is causing her symptoms and can treat accordingly.
