In late January, my nine year old woke me in the middle of the night scrambling around. I thought she had to go out and I let her out. She did make it back in with a little help and fell sleep.
The next morning she was worse. I called her vet as soon as they opened. The vet examined her and gave me seven days of anti-nausea medicine. As the vet predicted, it was almost three weeks before the head tilt went away. That was the last symptom to go away.
The vet also said that it is rare for a dog to get this twice.
