Even dogs feel some dizziness just like us. This happens when an ear is infected and affects the sense of balance as one of the ear’s functionality. In dogs, it is called simply dizziness or “labyrinthitis” in medical term. It comes from the word labyrinth, a part of a complicated structure of ear composed of saccule, utricle, and the semicircular canals. The labyrinth serves for eye movement synchronization and in maintenance of coordination, balance, and posture. Ear infection is probably the most common result and impacts the normal posture of a puppy. Loss of steadiness is evident too, followed by the lacking of coordination, making the dogs to vomit. Others manifest a condition of nystagmus where a canine has the quick jerking movement from the eyeballs.
