Our 14 YO Male Sheltie has had a neurologic event 1/2 hour ago. He tried to get up and can't use his hind leg/legs. His eyes are darting back and forth rapidly (nystagmus). His head is following the motion of his eyes. He is not in pain. He wags his tail and reacts to us. He can see, but his hearing has gone in recent months.
He doesn't center his head. It is favoring 120 degrees to the right (looking over shoulder as he shakes it back and forth at the rate of 1 per second. When we pet his head, he stops moving it. He is reacting as if he were happy.
We live in central time. Vets are closed for normal ops.
He is now standing, but all four legs are shaking rapidly and he is in a guarded stance.
He just got up and walked in circles twice (right). Then, he fell down. He is staggering around and is now beginning to seem sad that he can't make it around.
What do you recommend? Anything we can give him for a stroke?
