this moring we thought he had a seizure, then after doing some research we thought it was a stroke.
we took him to the doggie E.R. and they said they think it was neither, that the head tilt and falling down while it may appear to be a stroke, they think he basically has a sever case of vertigo. ( vestibular disease ) ?
anyway, other then a vacation or a weekend, this is the first time i've been away from him overnight in 12 years. and then he stayed with family.
i'm not digging it. i hated leaving him there.
on the upside, if they are right about what is causing this, he should be back to normal within 10 days or so. said he may have a slight head tilt from now on , but otherwise normal.
my girl dog is being very quiet and withdrawn with her brother away.
i miss him.

I sure hope he comes home soon! I've never heard of that either. I do understand how much you and his sister miss him though.

He'll be in my thoughts and prayers....
thank you. yeah, they are like kids to me. ( they were the only thing i told my ex that i was willing to fight for in the divorce ) told her she could have everything else but she wasnt taking my babies !
it was sad leaving him there. they let us back to see him b4 we left, and he just stumbled and staggered over to me, and leaned against me cause he could barley stand. then he didnt want to get back into the cage. i had to kinda push him and trick him to get him back in. then he pawed at the door when we were walking away. he looks retarted. im serious, his head is tilted way to the left, his eyes are twitching and he is drooling. but even looking that way, he was the best looking son of a bitch back there !!!! Peace, Love.

Awww...poor puppy! know all too well how gut wrenching the walk from the vet without your doggy can be....
My two looked appropriately sad when I told them about your dog...they send their doggy wishes....
And our friend's dog has quite the head tilt (athough they think it was because he'd been kicked)...and he's fine...big gangly pooch...he chases balls and sticks and other dogs... and he's sweet as can be....be philanthropic0 -

My cat had vestibular disease 3 years ago (She is 15 years old now). I too thought it was a stroke. It took about a week and she was back to normal!
Good luck!0 -
