[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3456292, member: 24583"] Sorry about your lab, this must be more common than I had thought. Did you find the very easy relief online fix for your dog? Dogs ears are a lot less complex than a humans and usually can be taken care of in just a few minutes every day or so. Here is what works for mine to settle the solid crystals into a non-conflicting location. 1. Lay him on his left side holding his snout outward parallel to the floor to be still and stable in one place for 60 seconds to let the crystals settle in his ear fluid. (I use the timer on my cell phone laying on the floor beside us). 2 Roll him to turn him up on his back, paws in the air (I get over him to do this so he can put his feet on my chest for security and not get distracted, he seems to like that) and hold his snout straight up toward the ceiling very still for another full minute. 3. Roll him over to his right side holding his snout stable for another minute. 4. Finally roll him over to his normal "down" position and let him relax there for about another minute. He always wants to get up at that point and shake his head because it now feels weird to be "normal" I hope this might help anyone who has a dog who may develop this equilibrium problem of crystals in their ear fluid as they get older. Usually they will quickly get accustomed to you doing this, knowing you are going to help them feel better. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
