I have a 5-year-old dog, part Havanese and Maltese, who has been happy and well but recently started waking up disoriented at night, attempting to jump off the bed but sliding off instead, and then walking around the house in a strange searching manner before returning to bed. Her daytime behavior is normal. Could this be a small stroke, a seizure, or something else? Should I be concerned about toxins or new food she's been eating?

Our three-year-old Rottweiler, Tiberius, may have Masticatory Muscle Myositis (MMM). He has lost weight, has difficulty picking up a small ball, is not barking, and has swelling and redness in his right eye. His bloodwork showed slightly elevated white cells and a very high CK level, which the vet attributed to stress. He was put on 20mg of prednisone daily for possible MMM. What could be causing these symptoms, and what steps should we take for his treatment and care?
