Did they do tests to try to establish the cause? I understand that sometimes they can tell and try preventative such as blood thinners or blood pressure tablets.
I had a very old bassett hound who had a couple of strokes, unfortunately with her they couldn't really find an underlying reason.

Thanks for your reply, 2 weeks pain killers.

Poor Josie and bad luck, Cal. Hope she makes a full recovery.
I wouldn't know how to recognise a stroke. What are the symptoms to look for?

No experience thankfully, but sending healing vibes and :bigarmhug: s for you all.
