Zoey's back legs are giving out, she freaks out when there's movement, she's disoriented, she also is panting really fast. And her hair is falling out


Zoey's symptoms, such as her back legs giving out, disorientation, rapid panting, and hair loss, are indeed concerning and could point to several underlying issues. These symptoms might be related to neurological problems, like vestibular disease, which affects balance and coordination, or potentially more serious conditions such as a stroke. Additionally, the rapid panting and disorientation could indicate anxiety or pain.
Regarding her hair loss, this could be due to stress, hormonal imbalances, or skin infections. It's important to keep an eye out for any visible skin changes, such as redness or bumps, which might suggest an infection or allergy.
At home, try to keep Zoey calm and comfortable. Provide her with a quiet, safe space to rest, and avoid any sudden movements or loud noises that could exacerbate her symptoms. Ensure she stays hydrated and offer her food if she seems willing to eat.
Considering the combination of symptoms and her age, it would be prudent to have her evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. They can conduct a thorough examination and may suggest diagnostic tests to identify the underlying cause and determine the appropriate treatment.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
