6.5yr old boxer dog has become unsteady on his feet, as if he's drunk. Breathing, ears and eyes are all bright and active as normal but he's lethargic and looks exhausted. Has been eating and drinking water as normal. What should I do ?

It could be he has something like a disease or sickness that's starting. I suggest to keep and eye on it but in a few days if he's not back to normal bring him to he vet. Or call the vet and see what they tell you.hope this helps!

It could be an ear infection or it could be something like tumor. Boxers are prone to tumors. I would take him to the vet to rule out any medical issues.

I would think Wobbler's Disease.

This disease is more common in Dobies.. but all breeds can get it.

Maybe even a ruptured spinal disk...

Or it could be an ear infection like Bella suggested.

Bella and Lucky both have made good suggestions. Having said that, I wouldn't wait a few days as the first poster suggested. A lot can go wrong in a few days, I would know that first hand. Get your dog to the vet immediately. The sooner you find out what's going on, the better chance you have of getting it fixed if it's something serious.
