Question
Twice lately my boxer had gotten dizzy, stumbled, and fell down. Seems disorinated but is fine a minute later. Seems healthy otherwise. What can be wrong?
This sounds like either an inner ear infection causing the imbalance or another issue with balance issues.
I can't substitute health advise except to highly recommend taking he/she to your vet and have these issues checked and tested.
Disorientation is not normal and is a serious warning sign.
Stay with him/her and watch him/her until you get him to a vet.
