He is not very active and every time we touch him he screams on his head and shoulders.and he just stands there looking down.

I don't know what we can tell you other than to find a vet that is open.

I highly doubt that your dog had a stoke. He may have, but I doubt it.

From your description, it sounds as if he may have hurt his back. Bulging disks are very painful and can happen very suddenly.

With that being said, keep him quiet, keep in in a crate and do not let him out without you there. Keep him from jumping or any other type of activity. Go see your vet FIRST THING tomorrow. The quieter you keep him, the less likely he will injure himself more.

If it happens to be a stroke or any other type of ailment, keeping him quiet and in a dark, cool room will benefit him greatly.

He really needs a vet. This is not something that will go away nor will there be an at-home treatment to help him. He needs a doctor.
