my 5 week old pit seems to have lost equilibrium

by Amy

My 5 week pit bull puppy has recently started walking with his head sideways. Also he stumbles a lot when he walks.

He has been fine for 5 weeks and this just suddenly started any ideas what could be causing this?





Hi Amy
You definitely need to have your puppy checked out by a veterinarian as soon as you can. That's the only way to get an accurate diagnosis on something like this.

It could be that he has an ear infection or something similar and that's affecting the balance mechanism in his ears.

It could also be some sort of neurological issue etc. but only a vet can figure it out, so please get him an examination as soon as possible.

Best of luck, hope he's doing much better soon.
