Is it common for a dog to feel better after it recovers from a stroke? General Dog Discussions
I have a miniature dachshund that is 15 years old and some months, she's quite the old dog, had her since I was 3. Anyways a few weeks ago she had a stroke(at I think so because she had the symptoms of them and was having what I think were after seizures) and was pretty tired for a few days after. So she just laid around like usual like she's done ever since my other dog(Pomeranian) died about a year and a half ago. The funny thing is that since she recovered and got most of her strength back, she acts like she's happier and has more energy now, and just perkier in general. She also seems to want to be around us more often, whereas she used to isolate herself from everyone unless we has food of course.lol Is it normal for a dog to feel better after having a stroke or seizure? I know some may feel good just before death but she hasn't died yet so I don't think that's the case.
