Poor Brandi Wyne, I too hope it is an ear infection or a kinked neck. I hate too tell you this, but I had a small miniture sheltie, 12 yrs. of age, had had her since she was 6 mo. old. She was always very healthy, until this happened. This happened a couple of times w/i 2-3 weeks, and she would go back completely to normal w/i a few hours. Since she was getting older I thought possibly she had slept wrong and had gotten a kink in her neck. The 3rd time this happened I knew for sure it was a lot more serious. It happened late in the middle of the night. She let out a loud howl, as if in a lot of pain, and also acted as if she couldn't see things very well, as if she were going blind. She acted scared to death and started trembling all over. This was all along with all of the same symptoms that she had had b-4. the same ones that you have mentioned. Now she wasn't acting like she was in any pain, but was acting as if one of her hind legs just wouldn't work right. Actually all along we were afraid of what was going on, and hoping that we were wrong and that everything was going to be okay. We held our beloved Sassie for a couple of hours then went back to bed. The following morning our Sassie had no use of either of her hind legs, it was pittiful, and we knew what we had to do. We called our vet and told him that we thought that she had had a stroke, and what her symptoms were. Yes, that was his diagnosis too, and we had our little one put down. That was approx. 1 yr. ago. We loved her dearly. R.I.P. Sassie
