darren m Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 i think my old collie had a stroke this morning , at least i think thats what happened , she s comfortable but very quiet . is there anything i can do for her . is there anything a vet can do to help her. i dont want her messing about with . but i do want to do the right thing by her , she is 13 and been the most loyal dog ever looking after my family and kids , and house . i owe her big time. years ago i had a yellow lab who stroked several times and recovered for a while longer . back then the vet filled her with steriods but they made her internals deteriate even faster and we had her PTS several months later . i,m just hoping she pulls through naturally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson_tom Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Very sorry to hear that. Our springer had a stoke, we took her to the vets who told us what it was and so we took her home and just made her comfortable and made sure one of us was with her all the time. She was 14 so decided was best not to mess around. If it hadn't of been such a severe stroke we might of tried something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbit Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 we've had several collies that had stokes over the years. They often make a good recovery although a bit lop sided and out of sorts for a bit. Keep her quiet and comfortable and hope for the best is my advice. All the best.
