 | Ataxia indicates a central nervous system problem. I doubt the antibiotics did anything more than clear up the head tilt which was likely a coincidental finding. If this is Wobblers the dog is likely paddling in the front - lifting the front legs higher than normal and "prancing". They will have more trouble turning corners when they are running. Now a lot of dogs will zig-zag when they walk IN FRONT of the owner. This is simply a way to keep themselves in front and they will block the forward progress of the dogs/people behind them. Falling easily is a worrisome symptom and coupled with the ataxia is more concerning for Wobblers. I would get this dog to a vet that can do an MRI and a neurologist should read this...not the everyday vet. Good luck and keep us apprised of your dog's outcome, OK? Dog bless, McK  | |||
