The other day we went to load up our dogs. Our son went to get the CD and when he got to the truck 50 yards away, the CD started swaying and then fell to his side. He stood back up and couldn't stand straight. Now we have him in the front to keep an eye on him and he will be walking around and just stumble and fall over. Does anyone know what this may be?

He hasnt been hunting in over 3 months now. He did get a bad cut about a year go. It was on his neck but this just started a month ago.
I checked him for ticks, mites, fleas and any other kind of bug and found none so far. We just treated for fleas and ticks 4 days before I posted this question.
He is still swaying some. It seems like the more he gets hyped up the more he does it. The kids can go pet or play with him and he will do it. Even if another dog or pup goes over there he will start doing it more.

My sister had a dog that developed siezures after he was grown. As long as he didn't get excited he was ok. She tried to keep him away fom situations that caused him to get excited. I'm not saying that is what is going on with your dog but you might consider that if you can not figure out his problem.
If his condition is caused by siezures then a low gluten diet will help. That means a dog food that does not contain grain in it.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

That is what I thought he may have had but he isnt having siezures. We had a dog like that before. This one is alot different. Sometimes I wonder if he has a inner ear infection. You know how we feel off balance when we get one? Maybe he is doing the same thing? May have to take him in to Vet.

I didn't think about that but an inner ear infection sounds reasonable to me. We have a westie and it had an inner ear infection and he had dark brown in his ear and it smelled some. The vet gave us some strong antibiotics to knock it out.

He isn't "swaying" as bad anymore and he hasn't been scratching at his ears. So I am guessing that was the problem. He is actually able to play with the kids and dogs without falling over now. He is able to keep his balance alot better. My guess that it was an ear problem now. Gonna give it another week or so and then take him to the pen and see what happens.
