I recommend to have Connamon examined today. Wobbling walking is always worrisome as it can indicate many different conditions. Possible causes include toxin or drug ingestion, electrolyte imbalance, low blood sugar, vestibular disease, a stroke, cancer and many other causes. It’s best to play it safe and have her examined quickly. I hope she feels better quickly!
