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.
Primary Cause. There are many reasons a dog may have convulsions, from low blood sugar levels to liver disease, poor circulation of the brain to a calcium deficiency. Brain tumors can even lead to convulsions and seizures. In dogs 8 years old or younger, epilepsy is a common cause of seizures. And though an underlying cause has yet to be identified, epileptic seizures do respond well to treatment in most cases. Small breed puppies commonly suffer from low blood sugar, which is a another cause of seizures.
