Other Reasons for Loss of Balance in Dogs
Any process which causes inflammation of the brain -- referred to as encephalitis -- may cause a dog to lose its balance. Encephalitis can result from tick-borne diseases, fungal infections, protozoal infections, and many other causes. Other signs include fever and depression.
Your vet can help you and your pet share a long and happy life together. If you have any questions about your dog's health, be sure to talk to your veterinarian about your concerns.
