    • Vestibular disorder can happen spontaneously, and can come and go. Most cases can resolve within 2 weeks..some longer. Has your dog been diagnosed with this? Sometimes dogs can circle for other reasons...my jack/dachsie mix lost hearing in her left ear and had only partial hearing in the right...and turned right circles . The vets said she was turning in the only direction she could hear. As far as the extraction is concerned..the sinus cavities that run throughout the area can be irritated by the infection and there could be some swelling going on inside that puts pressure on the inner and middle ear which can cause vestibular dysfunction. Hopefully your dog has a mild case and it will resolve itself...hope she's OK, good luck.
