Why is my senior dog dizzy, skittish, and throwing up yellow?

Question

I have a 7 year old mini pincher and she has these episodes where she seems to be dizzy and she’ll just lay down and do nothing and she’ll be very skittish, like you could raise your hand up to scratch your head and she’ll flinch, but it doesn’t happen all the time, but sometimes she throws up and it’s a yellow color. Do you know what it could be? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Pinscher | Female | spayed

I hate to hear that Morgan is having this issue. It’s very hard to say what the cause is. The potential causes that come to mind are a cardiac arrhythmia, a blood pressure problem or perhaps something neurologic in nature like a focal seizure. Because it’s hard to know for sure, I recommend to play it safe and have her seen by her veterinarian. The doctor will preform a neurological exam and may test her blood pressure and take an ECG reading. It’s better to catch any issues like this early. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
