Vestibular disease in dogs and cats happens when there is a problem in your little one’s vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining your canine companion’s balance and spatial awareness. That’s because the vestibular system consists of sensor receptors located inside the ear in the inner ear of your pup to help prevent the animal from losing equilibrium.
The vestibular system also comprises a central component that works as a control center in the brain, situated in the spinal cord, brainstem, and cerebellum. Together, these components help adapt your furkiddo’s position of the eyes, head, neck, and body, which is vital for navigating gravitational forces and averting potential falls.
Let’s delve into the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and natural support for vestibular disease in dogs and cats.
The most prominent types of vestibular issues in pets are feline idiopathic vestibular syndrome and vestibular disease in elderly dogs. In both cases, neoplasms and nervous system inflammation stand out as the primary culprits.
Patients exhibiting peripheral vestibular signs are typically diagnosed with otitis media, an infection in the inner ear. The symptoms are also commonly associated with idiopathic vestibular disease, characterized by a sudden and non-progressive balance disruption.
While less common, additional factors can contribute to dysfunction within the vestibular system. These include:
The vestibular syndrome manifests as a set of neurological clinical symptoms primarily associated with balance and spatial orientation. One of the main signs that there’s something wrong with your little one’s vestibular system is ataxia. This symptom is characterized by a lack of coordination without associated weakness or involuntary spasms.
Additionally, affected animals may display distinctive behaviors, such as walking in circles and experiencing episodes of uncontrolled falling. The presence of nystagmus, characterized by repetitive, uncontrolled eye movements, is also a common occurrence. Noticeable head tilts may serve as an additional indicator of potential vestibular disease.
If you suspect your pet is suffering from vestibular disease, take note of the symptoms mentioned above. Your veterinarian will use these clinical signs as a starting point to diagnose any underlying issues affecting your furry companion. In addition to a thorough examination, more generic laboratory tests, such as blood work, X-rays, and tomography, may be conducted.
For a confirmed diagnosis, the vet may recommend further investigative procedures, including an analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and an examination of the structures within the ear (otoscopy). The CSF collection necessitates general anesthesia, during which a small amount of fluid is withdrawn using a specialized spinal needle.
A precise diagnosis is imperative for identifying the origin of the syndrome. This not only aids in formulating a more accurate prognosis but also informs a tailored therapeutic protocol to address the specific underlying cause effectively.
The therapeutic protocol prescribed by your vet aims to relieve the clinical signs and improve quality of life. However, it is essential to establish the diagnosis of the underlying condition for more effective treatment.
Regarding neoplastic diseases or those caused by microorganisms or toxins, the veterinarian might prescribe pharmaceutical treatment or even recommend surgery. When the condition is stable or slowly progresses, the patient’s nervous system can naturally compensate for the dysfunction of the vestibular system. You can facilitate full recovery by stimulating routine activities in these cases.
Although specific prevention for vestibular disease in dogs and cats remains a challenge, routine veterinary check-ups and meticulous ear hygiene can help. By maintaining a consistent schedule of veterinary care and promoting ear health, pet owners can contribute significantly to early diagnosis and the prevention of recurrences.
When it comes to natural support, NHV Turmeric and NHV Yucca may help the vestibule as they have anti-inflammatory actions on the nervous system.
In addition, we recommend our fish oil blend, NHV PetOmega 3, as studies have shown that Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are assumed to have a beneficial effect on the function of the brain.
At last, NHV Old Timer has a potent restorative effect and may contribute to dysfunction of the nervous system.

A cat is technically considered a senior at 7-9 years old. While a 13 year old cat is technically a senior, cats have been known to live past 20 years. Age is not a disease! Maintain your kitty's optimal health and she can live for many more happy years.
Maintaining optimal health through kidney support, nutritional support, and a healthy balanced diet can help keep your cat healthy into their senior years. We recommend at least annual vet visits for cats over 9 years old.
Some changes that might be seen with aging include weight gain, lowered energy, stiff joints, foggy eyes (nuclear sclerosis) and weakened hearing. Antioxidant support can help to slow the progression of these aging changes.
It's never too early to start preventive supplements! If you have a breed which may be prone to a specific condition, supplementation can be started at any time. It's better to not wait for problems to be severe before supporting them.

What is Dementia in Dogs and Cats
Dementia is a general term for a group of symptoms that affect brain function, motor control and memory enough to impair day to day functioning. It is not itself a specific disease, but dementia can have a range of causes such as sustained trauma to the head, spine or nervous system. Canine cognitive disorder or feline cognitive disorder (sometimes referred to as dementia in dogs or cats) can occur for any number of reasons, including the abnormal accumulation of proteins in the brain that create a buildup of plaque, which eventually damages the nerves resulting in the loss of brain function. Other conditions such as meningitis, fibrocartilaginous (spinal) embolism, a stroke, parasites, tumors, and autoimmune disorders (with a genetic factor), may also be related to feline and canine cognitive dysfunction.
