Sudden stumbling and disorientation in a senior dog can be very concerning and might indeed suggest a neurological event like a stroke, though it could also be Vestibular Disease, a brain tumor, or other conditions. Other signs to watch for include head tilt, rapid eye movements (nystagmus), weakness, or changes in consciousness. Given the acute onset and neurological symptoms, this warrants immediate veterinary attention to determine the cause and provide appropriate supportive care. This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
