Vestibular syndrome in dogs

Dog diseases / By

Geriatric vestibular syndrome is a disease that affects a dog's balance system (vestibular system). Located in the inner ear, this organ is responsible for detecting rotational movements and linear accelerations. The resulting sensory data is transmitted via nerve pathways to the brain, where it is processed and used to coordinate the position of the body and eyes with the position of the head. To date, no specific cause of this disease has been identified, although disorders of lymphatic flow in the inner ear or immunological events are considered as possible triggers.
