Vestibular disease, which becomes more common as a dog ages, causes a dog to walk in circles. Parasites, systemic lupus erythematosus, encephalitis, canine distemper and fluctuating blood sugar levels may cause a dog to walk in circles. Brain tumors, also called meningioma, can cause a dog to walk in circles.
Sudden turns may cause the ataxic dog to stumble. A tenancy to lose their balance is also apparent when a dog with ataxia makes a sudden turn. Sudden head movements, such as shaking the head, may precipitate a dizzy spell that will cause the dog to lose their balance, stretch out their legs, and fall to the ground.
