thanks, the vet said it sounded more like a fainting episode which is common with dogs have this illness..

I have very limited experience with stroke in dogs, but the way your dog recovered suggests to me it was not a stroke.  

Given you dog was receiving hospital level treatment I think you should ask the vet involved in that treatment.
