It wasn't a stroke
One morning our 15-1/2 year old dog Ani couldn't walk straight. We
thought it was a stroke. The Vet diagnosed her with a
disorder called Canine Peripheral Vestibular Syndrome, an
inflammation in the nerves connecting the inner ear to the
cerebellum. "The dog feels like it's just gotten off a spinning merry-go-round", said our dear Doctor Kelly, "It will go away in a few days." Ani was put on Antibiotics.
Our sweet dog recovered. If your dog is ever falling over like she's a drunk, and her eyes twitch back and forth, MAYBE it's NOT a stroke, it could be CPVS.
