Hey! Ollie is continuing to regain strength since his apparent stroke a 10ish days ago.
Today he had an episode where he had similar issues. He had diarrhea (never had before) and wouldn’t stop shaking his head trying to scratch his ears. He ran around like crazy rolling and crashing into everything with his legs flying out from under him(on carpet). He started pivoting around in circles uncontrollably with his head near the ground. Walked around on his tiptoes with his back legs stretched out straight (truly terrifying looking) before laying out straight on his belly and losing his ability to use his back legs.
after 5-10 min he could move again somewhat normally but was dragging his legs every few steps. he seems stiff and he’s off balance again!
no head tilt, eating a drinking normal, tummy back to normal. I did notice some eye boogers which he’s never had before. Vet just cleared him and said no ear infection.
Does this sound like another stroke? Should I just treat him for EC? I have panacur in my house but the vet didn’t recommend it because we didn’t do the blood test to confirm EC.
I hate seeing him like this. He looked so scared when he was running around. I was right next to him when this all happened. He didn’t lose consciousness or have a seizure/wasn’t frightened by something.
this is beyond stressful.
