We meet a man with an elderly JRT sometimes and his shakes a lot but it has Cushings disease. It also walks round in circles. Hope this isn't what is wrong with yours. His dog is quite thin-is yours?

my dog is average weight for his breed - a healthy in proportion weight and he doesnt walk round in circles either. it seems like he just loses his balance for a few seconds. hes alright when i walk him its just when he stands still

I would go to the vet and get him checked out at his age he could have vestibular disease etc.

I had a very old dog who would do that. He had epilepsy and arthritis, and the Vet thought it was related to one of those.
He certainly needs to see a vet though.
