Disorientation and circling in an older dog can be concerning and may point to several underlying issues. These include cognitive dysfunction syndrome (canine 'dementia'), inner ear infections (vestibular disease), or even more serious neurological problems like a brain tumor or stroke. It's important to observe if the circling is always in one direction or if there are other accompanying symptoms like head tilt. A veterinary examination is essential for diagnosis and to discuss potential management or treatment options.
