What does it look like if a dog has a stroke?

Answer 1

Dogs don't show signs of pain or paralysis like humans after a stroke. Look for these symptoms:

• Head tilt
• Lethargy (lack of movement or appearing very weak)
• Loss of balance or moving in circles
• Turning the wrong way when called
• Eating out of one side of the food bowl
• Tongue hanging out of mouth but not panting
• Apparent blindness

Keep in mind not all of these signs are just stroke symptoms. When treated, most dogs can regain motor control within several weeks.
