Vestibular disease

My 9 year old dog was diagnosed with vestibular disease, any idea how long these symptoms will last? I hate to see him in this condition! thanks!

It really depends on the underlying cause. Did your vet prescribe anything? Generally, you should see improvement within 3-4 days, however it may take days or weeks before your dog returns to normality.
Here is a helpful link with a video of a dog suffering from this condition:

He was prescribed Meclizine (Antivert). Thank you for responding so quickly and for providing the link. He does look like the dog in the video. Keeping fingers crossed he gets better fast!
