Stroke???
Hi,
About two weeks ago i took my dog into the vet because he had lost his vision (rather fast...almost seemed over night he lost it). He is a 12 year old Lab and his vision has been going gradually over the past 6 months. the vet said it was cataracts and that he was 100% blind in the right eye, and approx 95% blind in the left. Now i am noticing other symptoms (that were probably there before and i hadn't noticed) - face droops on one side (right side) - he limps a bit on the one side - walks in circles - has issues with stairs (figure it might be because of the new blindness thing) - gets confused when called etc. From what i have read, there isn't really much of a treatment (besides diagnosing the type of stroke...which involves kat scan, MRI, spinal tap, blood-work, etc. I don't know if i want to put the poor guy through it. I have read that they can recover in some cases. Is there anything i could be doing? aspirin in his food? natural supplements? Any info would be helpful thanks, tony |
