Wife was watching this "Emergency Vet" (or something like that) show on Animal Planet the other day, when they showed a case of a bigger younger dog than my Lucky, who was suffering the same symptoms...the name of which is "vistibular(sp)" disease, if I heard right...in this case, with the younger dog, they were going to check him for a brain tumor or some such, they claimed that that would be the only cause for his problems...apparently old dogs like Lucky can come down with it for no reason, & recover the same...

He still shows signs of impaired vision, probably cateracts, & frequently misjudges the big step up from the den, scaring us all when he slams into the step or head first onto the kitchen floor...but he stills does his little dance when he sees me, still eats well, & still growls and barks at Riley when she invades his personal space...so we'll just see how long he lasts for now...
