Yesterday Mona who has already had one stroke was out to graze in the garden. She was nibbling grass and seemed fine but all of a sudden she fell over. She was breathing steadily and made no attempt to get back up. She started to close her eyes. I waited a few seconds before picking her up and setting her on her feet. She stayed on her feet and went back to nibbling as though nothing had happened. Everything was normal. Then this morning I found her lying on her tummy with the back legs and one front leg splayed out. Not matter how I set her one her feet she wouldn't walk. She isn't floppy but just won/can't walk. She is still eating (masticating slowly though), weeing and pooping. She licked me and her companion. She took her medication as normal and showed excitement when I prepared her breakfast. But she is quieter and not really moving. She drags herself about a little but nothing beyond that.
I have called the vet for a phone consult and am waiting for his call back. I'm not sure she is up to a trip in but if the vet advises it of course we will take her in. Could her fall yesterday been a second stroke? And is it possible for symptoms to be delayed? I'm worried that perhaps she is nearing the end I want to do everything I can for her and make sure she is as comfortable as possible.
