Clinical signs: Signs of vestibular disease include ataxia, head tilt, and abnormal nystagmus. A wide-based stance and swaying of the head and trunk characterize ataxia. The patient may tend to lean and fall to one side. In severe cases, the animal may continuously roll to one side.
The vestibular system is what gives most mammals balance and a sense of spatial orientation. Vestibular disease affects the body's balance systems. There is a peripheral form of the disease arising from outside the central nervous system which is caused by disorders affecting the inner ear.
