A stroke can result from a clot or a bleed:
• ischaemic dog strokes are caused by a sudden lack of blood supply to the brain.
• haemorrhagic dog strokes are caused by bleeding within the brain.
Five main symptoms to spot when your dog if your dog is having a stroke.
1. since strokes affect the brain, they impair your pet’s ability to remain upright. therefore, if your dog sufferers a sudden loss of balance, is unable to stand, leans to one side, or seeks to leans on you, then get the advice of your vet.
2. a stroke can also cause your pet to lose control of their body systems:vomiting
• gasping
• diarrhoea
• loss of bladder control
• heart arrhythmias
• inability to breathe
however, some of these symptoms are also consistent with canine stomach upsets. therefore, it is essential to differentiate between a case of upset stomach and a stroke. with a stroke, the duration and intensity of symptoms are far greater than those of a stomach upset.
3. extreme tiredness can be a symptom of stroke in dogs. therefore, if your dog suddenly seems to fall asleep, it could actually be loss of consciousness due to a stroke. if your dog doesn’t wake when you try to rouse him, then contact your vet immediately.
4. in the case of a stroke, your pet’s brain sends incorrect signals to their body. for example, your pet may not be able to respond to your spoken directions. instead, he may move in a directionless fashion and seem to be walking in circles. he may appear as though he is drunk and be unable to walk in a straight line.
5. strokes can affect how your pet controls their eyes. look out for abnormal eye movements such as your dog’s eyes constantly rotating or darting from side to side. furthermore, one eye may stay still while the other moves, or both your pet’s eyes may look as though they are focusing on two different spots. as a result, if you see any of these changes to visions, contact your vet.

Blood transfusion in dogs -DONOR
After preliminary testing is done to ensure your dog is a match with the donor blood, an IV will be placed for the blood transfusion. If a catheter is already in place, a separate line will be added to ensure that only the blood product is traveling in the line. The transfusion could last from one to four hours. One hour for patients who are unstable and have life threatening signs of anemia and four hours for patients with mild to moderate symptoms of anemia, allowing for close observation in case of an adverse reaction.
Once the transfusion is done, your dog will be monitored for several hours to ensure that they are stable. Your veterinarian will check your dog’s vital signs and perform blood tests to monitor the resolution of the anemia. Your dog will also be monitored for signs of an adverse reaction such as vomiting, increased respiratory effort, edema or hives.
Blood transfusion in dogs is effective in restoring blood cells lost to anemia and alleviating the symptoms caused by that blood loss. The effects of transfusion are not permanent and last only as long as red blood cells remain in the system. It is important to address the primary cause of the anemia in order to have a more permanent effect on health. Treatments related to blood transfusion include plasma transfusion and platelet transfusion. These additional transfusions are able to supplement other vital blood products such as clotting factors and platelets, however, they cannot be used on their own in place of a blood transfusion.
After a blood transfusion your dog will need to be monitored closely for several hours for signs of an adverse reaction. Adverse reactions can be acute or delayed in nature. Typically, adverse reactions only happen in dogs that have received multiple transfusions. There will be signs of improvement within the first 24 hours as the body accepts the transferred blood. Full healing will take place only after the underlying cause of the

What are the signs of diabetes in pets?
Noticing the early signs of diabetes is the most important step in taking care of your pet. If you see any of the following signs, your pet should be examined by a veterinarian. The earlier the diagnosis, the better chance your pet may have for a longer and healthier life.
Excessive water drinking and increased urination
Weight loss, even though there may be an increased appetite
Decreased appetite
Cloudy eyes (especially in dogs)
Chronic or recurring infections (including skin infections and urinary infections)

The course of treatment will depend on the cause of your dog's paralysis. If your dog is unable to walk, urinate, or defecate on its own, it will most likely be admitted into hospital while veterinarian works to settle on a diagnosis.
From there veterinarian will monitor your dog daily to follow its recovery and progress. If your dog is in pain, it will be given medication to help manage the pain, its bladder will be emptied several times per day by catheter, and it will be physically adjusted throughout the day to make sure that it does not get sores from lying in one place for too long. If the cause of the paralysis is infection or a slipped disc, the condition will be treated with either medicine, surgery or therapy.
Anti-inflammatory drugs will be used to reduce inflamed nerves.
Tumors or blockages of blood supply may be repaired surgically, depending on the vulnerability of the location.
Some paralyzed dogs recover very quickly. Depending on the severity of the condition, your dog may be kept in hospital until it is able to walk, or your veterinarian may send your dog home with you with a guideline for home care and recovery. Your veterinarian will set up a plan for progress checks so that your dog's treatment can be adjusted accordingly.
