Dog (9) with sudden fall that resolved, vet found no abnormalities

Thanks for reaching out with your concern. It can certainly be worrying when something like this happens. If your dog's sudden fall has resolved and the vet didn't find any abnormalities, there may be a few possible explanations. It could be a temporary issue such as a minor muscle strain, a brief loss of balance, or even something as simple as slipping on a slick surface.



To help your dog at home, ensure they're walking on surfaces that aren’t too slippery. Try to keep their environment calm to avoid too much excitement that could lead to additional tumbles. Also, check their paws for any debris or injuries, as those might lead to stumbling.



However, it's important to keep an eye out for any signs that might indicate a more serious problem. Watch for repeated falls, limb weakness, head tilting, changes in behavior, or issues with their vision. These signals could suggest neurological or inner ear problems.



If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to seek further veterinary guidance. You can easily book a video consult with Dial A Vet for a more in-depth discussion of your dog's health. We're here to help!
