My Yorkie-Poo died last year and she started the same way. It happened rather quickly and she continuallly got sick and I finally had to take her to the vet where I had to put her to sleep. It was the humane thing to do. She was having ziesures (is that spelled right? probably not) They are in pain. Adn cry a lot and the fall. Take your dog to the vet ASAP. Just to be on the safe side. My Yorkie-Poo was 16 years old. She lived far more than anyone would have expected. How old is your dog and what breed is it?

How old is your dog and what breed is she? Has she had any falls or been knocked down recently? She could be having hip or back problems - my dog can't walk very well on tile and occasionally falls down (she's 11 years old) but it's mostly due to arthritis and pinced back nerves. (Once in while she gets to go to my chiropractor and gets adjusted, which really helps.) I would strongly suggest you getting her to the vet to make sure her back and hips are okay and to rule out any other physical problems.

The CORRECT answer is, you shouldn't be HERE asking people who can't see the dog. Take the dog to your vet without delay. It could be something as simple as an ear infection, etc. causing the loss of balance, or it could be something different...but there's no one here who will be able to tell you the exact cause. Go to a vet.

Take her to the VET. Sooner or later she will collapse and die, then you will regret not taking her to the vet, Good luck, hope for the best

Take her to the vet IMMEDIATELY!
I had a cat who acted like that once, because he got into the neighbors antifreeze!
By the time my parents took him to the vet, his system was shutting down.
The faster you get her to the vet, the more likely that they could save her!
Go NOW!

Come on now! Take the poor thing to the vet, please! It may not even be fatal but if you keep neglecting your animal, it may turn out to be so.

Please take her to the vet. It sounds like she is on her way out of this world, my daughters dog did the same thing, she was old.
