There is an accident in the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system. Once the blood problems occur in the supply brain, it may cause abnormalities in the central nervous system.

There are usually 2 types that are likely to cause stroke:

1) ​​Cerebral ischemia stroke: The aorta of the large cardiovascular and cerebrovascular arteries is blocked, resulting in the inability to transport O2, which in turn causes brain damage.

2) Hemorrhagic stroke: cerebrovascular rupture or coagulation disorder, causing intracerebral hemorrhage, swelling and increased blood pressure.

The top of the head is hit or other damage, the blood in the brain can easily coagulate, causing the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.

2. Elderly dogs and these dogs with the following medical records
