Dogs can also have a brain bleed that acts like vestibular disease. If they recover fairly quickly from it, its probably a bleed. I did find out that dogs have a filter in their blood vessels, so they don't stroke from clots like humans do. Sounds like they have a better system than we do! My 12 year old had this, looked just like a stroke. My vet who is an acuptuncturist treated her the next day, right after the treatment she started walking stronger and eating again. It was an amazing turn around. She's been fine ever since. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
