Vestibular disease again

Ugh,

     Poor Logan, he had vestibular disease in January and had another episode about 10 days ago.  This time it hit him really hard and fast but he kept his appetite and was only depressed until the nystagmus went away.  I'm thinking the head tilt is going to remain this time.  Has anyone had a dog get this a third time?

Hi Aschlemm.  My dog Parker had repeated bouts of vestibular syndrome.  The first was the worst. He was a vigorous super active 14 year old and that first attack was horrible.  He had it on the left side and it took about 4 weeks of me working with him daily for him to be able to walk without me and he had a head tilt for at least 9 months.  Then he had a second attack and it seemed to be on the right, because he developed a head tilt to the right and that one was not as bad as the first but still pretty bad, requiring Cerenia and crate rest for about a week and leaving him with a head tilt for 6 months.  Then he had one more minor attack on each side in the next year and then last year of his life he had no signs and no head tilt.  Vestibular syndrome sucks!
