Old wobbly dog, written things, me

Rosie Roo is wobbly on her long legs and has a bit of a head tilt. The vet thinks she's had a vestibular incident (a bit like a stroke for dogs, only not really because apparently it doesn't have the same brain symptoms as strokes in humans).

She's very old - at least 15, though as she is a rescue dog, I don't know her exact birthday.

I'm sorry to hear Rosie has vestibular syndrome. One of my spaniels had it so severely it affected not just his balance, but his sense of direction. I hope Rosie is coping okay, and you're managing to find something that will tempt her to take her pills.
