Thank you for reaching out with your concern. It sounds like your senior pup might have experienced a moment of dizziness or weakness. In older dogs, episodes like this can be due to several factors such as low blood sugar, heart issues, or even arthritis causing sudden pain.
It's great that he got up and walked home, but it's important to monitor him closely now. At home, you can ensure he stays comfortable by providing a soft resting area and avoiding strenuous activity until he seems back to normal. Keep an eye on his eating and drinking habits, as well as his energy levels.
Watch for signs like continued weakness, collapsing, coughing, difficulty breathing, or significant changes in behavior or appetite. These could indicate a more serious health issue that needs prompt attention.
Since your dog is a senior, it’s a good idea to have a comprehensive check-up to rule out underlying conditions like heart disease or arthritis. Please consider booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. They can offer specific insights tailored to your dog's health history and help ensure he stays happy and healthy.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
