Hi Steve

The visit to the vet is definitely needed, something is wrong.

Good luck on it.

  For what it might be worth, my 5 year old Brittany recently eat something that was very moldy.  I noticed that when it came back up on my bed at 3a.m.  He was disoriented, staggering, but also shaking, and even convulsive.  Lost about 3 pounds, almost overnight from dehydration.  $350 later, I had a re-hydrated, active, but weak dog.  Some months back, my best female went through the same thing.  I know for sure she got into some moldy breaded chicken. 

  The symptoms aren't identical, but it's something to have the Vet consider.

You know, that sound pretty much like what had happened to Koffee. These are the same symptoms she is having disoriented, staggering, also shaking, and even convulsive. but not a true convulsion, and more of a shiver then shaking. Her heart rate is stable. I don't have a rectile thermometer, otherwise I would have the temp. Her gums are a nice pink color as her tongue. She has also coughed up a huge mass of flem as well. Her eyes are glassy and when she gets up she looks for a corner and noses into it.

She is drinking water, and eating, her urine output is normal as well as her urine color. Her stools are normal as well but, not the normal output that would normally occur after her feeding.

I'll find out what the blood test show sometime today, but the vet thinks she had a stroke.

He also was looking into the back of her eyes and noticed the fluids that should be gliding across was actually swirling around and had no idea on the cause. He hasn't seen anything like this in his 30 years as a vet.

He did a simple test to see if she could see, by droping a cotton ball on the floor in close proxsimity to which she did notice.

He stated that an optomologist would have to look at it.

So between her eyes and the possibility of a stroke, he feels this is what is causing her disorientation as far as seeing.

She is on medication called Elavial an anti depressive, 50mgs twice daily to help with the disorientation.

He also stated that studies have been made on dogs over 10 years of age that have died and autopsied(necropsy) on the brain all showed signs of stroke.

All lab work came back fine. The vet said the lab results looked like a 2 year old. The problem rests in her brain.

Hopefully she will come out of this stroke.
