Canine Stroke Recovery
Dog's suffer from brain strokes just as we do. However the chances of complete recovery are greater. Find out about canine stroke recovery period and how to look after your dog post attack...
Dogs usually suffer from strokes only after they are over 8 years of age, unless there is something drastically wrong with the dog's health. Strokes never do come with a warning and often just happen without any prior signs.
Many owners confuse the symptoms of a stroke in humans to a stroke in dogs. In fact, they are quite different.
Infarcts (blood clotting leading to lack of circulation in part of the brain) occur in some dogs. If the damage to the brain is minimal then recovery may occur quickly. If the damage is severe, recovery may not occur at all. I do not know the incidence of infarcts affecting the brain in dogs but I think it is pretty low.
Even when dogs do not recover fully from peripheral vestibular syndrome they normally have a good life.
Radiation causes calcification of the basal ganglia and stroke causes damage to them .
I was diagnosed with MS in 2009, and am taking rebif medication. I've had about four experiences in the last month and a half of a surging feeling in my brain. It occurs when I'm asleep, and actually jolts me awake. Does anyone else get this symptom as well?
I hope the hospital scanned his head to see if he did indeed have a stroke, and if they have not, by golly they need to! Also, I am wondering if he was in some kind of accident before this happened to him, like even while working on the car, he may have wrenched his back. Sometimes if you hurt the thoracic spine, it'll make the chest hurt, and if he hurt his whole spine, it'll cause the tingling in his extremities and face.
From the symptoms I think your vet is probably right on the money with the diagnosis of a mass in the brain, but I doubt that the tremors signify pain because you said they are of short duration. Pain wouldn't be that transient, so it sounds like she may be having a neurological reaction to the mass.
As long as she is eating her food, eager to go outside and is alert and happy to see you when you talk to her, just let her be. You will know when it's time.
My guess (and this is only a guess) would be massive heart attack or stroke. Either would stop blood flow to the brain and could cause the seizure-type symptoms. I've seen people have strokes and heart attacks and it sounds very similar to what your dog experienced.
My very sincere condolences to you.
> will i have another stroke as i hadn't realised i had the first one
Hi. Sorry to say, but probably the time that a person is most likely to have a stroke is in the weeks/months after you've already had one. All the conditions were ripe for the first one and the conditions probably remain the same.
Have you also checked your peripheral vision? That can affect your walking ability (like bumping into things) and you might not realize that it is lessened now.
Neurologists ordered a battery of test and could not find any blood clots anywhere in my brain. I had symptoms early on several weeks prior to this emergency event. I loss vision in my left eye temporarly, my left side was numb including left side of face, ear, arm and fingers. I got extremely tired...layed down in my bed and didnt realize I was asleep for more than 4 hrs. My husband found me passed out during his lunch break on our bed.
Reasons for Coughing:
OK, For starters, you need to rule out Heart Problems....The xray will not only show the heart, but also the lungs...This is important....
With Heart Disease, the weak heart cannot pump as well...Fluid builds into the lungs causing the cough..The cough is usually MOIST like they're choking on congestion...Actually, they are...The cough is worse in the mornings & during periods of running, playing & excitement....Fluid will show in an x ray of the lungs.....
This facial neurological defict is because of the brain stroke. stroke can be thrombotic, embolic, hemorrhagic, hypoperfusion related etc and can affect one of the 3 central nervous system pathways like spinothalamic tract, corticospinal tract and dorsal column, symptoms include hemiplegia and muscle weakness of face, numbness, reduction in sensory and vibration sensation.
Usually unilateral, opposite side of the brain part affected.
I suffered a mini stroke a few weeks ago, losing feeling in my left side. I have the feeling back in my leg but it's not 100%. Although I have major pain in my left arm which is causing me problems sleeps as the tablets I am on does seem to work as I am taking morphine as well. The part that I don't understand is that I had a MRI and they found white with black circles on my brain, can you show some light on this please what are they?
I am no professional but this seems like a stroke. A stroke is when blood is lost in one side of the brain causing dizziness, loss of motor skills, confusion, blurred vision, and other symptoms. I am not trying to scare you but a stroke is rather serious. Do some research and if you think the symptoms match up force her to see a doctor.
Post mortems were not available at that time for dogs. He was also in fantastic shape, so our vet really had no other explanation to offer than a genetic heart condition.
Just like a person having a massive heart attack. Many dogs these days seem to have heart murmurs too. Some are never bothered by them while others do have issues.
Really impossible to say, but it truly sounds like a heart condition and it was just her time to go on to the rainbow bridge.
The left hemisphere of our brain is responsible for our language skills. Damage to brain tissue in this general area could result in word finding difficulty.
Dementia: Dementia is a progressive disorder that affects the brain's ability to function normally. It impairs memory as well as overall cognitive ability.
The most common known cause of dementia is Alzheimer's disease. Word finding difficulty can sometimes be an early sign of Alzheimer's.
i have been told i suffered from bleeding in the brain ,the bleeding has stopped ,my doctor has given me almost no info about this,it showed up on a ct for headaches i had 5 ct scans and an mri ,an eeg and ultrasound , all i have been told is that the bleeding stopped on its own ,and some things we can control ,some we can't does this sound reasonable ? i have no symptoms of stroke ,and was told the headaches were not caused by the bleeding.
