I'm very thankful that it wasn't something worse. It was really hard for us to see her unable to walk and when she tried, she would fall down or go in a circle. There is a good website that describes this problem... Canine Peripheral Vestibular Syndrome
A week later, she's doing better and with the help of over-the-counter motion sickness medicine she has compensated and is able to walk in a semi-straight line. She's not as stable as she used to be, but she is very much improved.

It took a full week before Chelsea could walk a straight line without wobbling and falling over. And then it took several weeks for her to get back to where she was prior to this happening. Now, she is back to the old Chelsea. She trys to play with the other dogs. She's still in a hurry to go everywhere, but as an old dog, she's just not as fast or agile as she was in her younger years. I was told that dogs with Peripheral Vestibular Syndrome tend to go down hill after they have it. I don't see this in Chelsea. I think she has recovered very well.
