Yes, animals can get dizzy from spinning. When an animal spins around quickly, the fluid in their inner ear can become dislodged and start to move around erratically. This can cause a sense of disorientation and dizziness. In some cases, it can even lead to nausea and vomiting.
There are a few different ways that animals can spin around quickly enough to cause this inner ear fluid displacement. One is by chasing their tail in circles. Another is by being placed in a spinning device like a centrifuge or carousel. And finally, some animals (like dogs) are simply more prone to getting dizzy than others due to the structure of their inner ear.
So if you see your dog or cat chasing their tail or acting strangely after riding on a merry-go-round, don't worry - they're probably just feeling a little bit dizzy!
