Update: My French Bulldog is suddenly struggling to stand and keeps falling over
Update: We were able to get him to the vet first thing this morning. For context, his symptoms started around 2 a.m. We live in a fairly rural area, so we monitored him overnight and took him to the vet as soon as they opened. While we were waiting, I made my post to see if anyone had experienced something similar or had any possible explanations.
The vet suspects a spinal column infection rather than IVDD. He’s now receiving antibiotics and medication to help reduce the inflammation. We’re still waiting on his X-ray results, but we’re hopeful he’ll start feeling better soon. We are keeping him on bed rest until the vet knows more.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment with possible explanations and kind words.
