My 8 year old Malamute/Chocolate Lab mix suddenly had a severe loss of control/drooping of the left side of his face about a year ago. This involved copious drooling and severe sagging (paralysis) below the eye, and of the lips. I treated him with Grapeseed extract 1 cap 3x per day for 4 weeks. The symptoms almost completely disappeared with the exception of a slight droopiness of the lips on that side. No other part of his body seemed to be affected. His personality was a little slower, but seemed improved after herbal treatment. The question is, a few months ago I noticed a mild return of those symptoms. I am wondering what else I might do. Although he did not exhibit all the Human signs of a stroke, (no noticable limb paralysis), I believe this is what he had. I am unable to take him to a vet for tests, and would not want to put him on the pharmaceutical poisons anyway. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Homeopathy or herbal suggestions would be welcome as well as opinions for possible causes. Thank you!
