Paws N Hooves Cafe

I have to admit my husband and I had a very scary time this morning at about 4 am. It seems to us that our 13 yr old four legged friend, baby, had a mini stroke. She couldnt walk correctly and leaned to one side. She had thrown up all over the place. I had a strap from when we had one of our other pets in a wheelchair and we got her up and I walked her around. Of course she walked me through the deep snow .
She did get better throughout the day and by the time we got her to the vet she was doing great with very little residual affects. The doctor stated that not many vets will tell you that dogs have strokes. Most will say it has something to do with their middle ear or some other cause.
Well what would you call it??
She did say that I did the best thing by getting her active and massaging her.
Has anyone ever been through the same thing? I am curious as to what you have been told.
