Yoladybug Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 Can dogs have strokes? If so, are the effects similar to strokes in humans? Quote
science_doc Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 Absolutely dogs can have strokes. Honestly I don't know what the symptoms are like in dogs, sorry I can't be more help there. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 When my mom's dog Tess had a stroke she could only walk in a circle to the right, her tongue hung out to the right and her right eye lid dropped badly. That's all I really remember of the incident but that is what happened. Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 see topic http://forum.dogomania.com/viewtopic.php?t=14112 as in humans they can have a variety of symtoms Quote

imported_Kat Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Yep dogs most certainly can have interrupted brain activity that can lead to strokes just like humans. Common symptoms are tilted head or an unbalanced gait as well as excessive drooling and agitation. These symptoms are also common with middle ear infections so ensure you get your vet to discriminate between the two as treatment is different. Quote
