Sky may have a problem with her equilibrium, ie an inner ear infection. you need to take her to a veterinarian ASAP. The vet will want to do x-rays of the head to check what is going on in her inner ear, and will give sky medication to stop the nausea. There also may be another problem with the brain. Please take Sky to an out of hours vet now.
