Re: Border Terrier with Cushings Disease had a possible stroke, or maybe a brain tumo
Hi, we are glad you and Ollie introduced yourselves! 
At first I thought it might be Vestibular Disease but that typically sticks around for a while once it shows up, not coming and going in episodes like you have described. So my thoughts are the same as yours now - either a seizure disorder or something with the brain itself. In the pituitary form of Cushing's the tumor on the pituitary gland typically remains microscopic causing nothing more than the usual cush signs. However, in rare cases that tumor starts to grow becoming a macroadenoma, or macro for short. It causes neurological signs just as any tumor on the brain can. There are other types of brain tumors of course but as far as I know the only way to determine if this is what is going on is either a CT scan or MRI. If you weren't going to treat via radiation or surgery then I'm not sure I would go to the expense of either of those tests unless simply knowing is that important. One thing to consider is the Vetoryl - cortisol is a natural anti-inflammatory and with macros it is usually best to stop the Vetoryl and let the cortisol rise which will help slow the growth. Otherwise lowering the cortisol allows the tumor to grow more rapidly. I am going to give you a link on the forum that was started by a member in 2011 whose baby developed a macro. Others added their stories over the years in order to help those who came after and faced this same diagnosis. You can read thru and see if anything in these stories fits with Ollie.
I would also try to get him in to see a vet who can talk to you about seizure vs macro as soon as possible. Hopefully with the vaccine being given to more and more of us things will loosen up soon. I have a dog who has focal seizures but her episodes display as a feral dog - she doesn't recognize anyone or anything as opposed to what we typically think of happening with seizures. Another of my babies had one episode that could have been a seizure in which she when limp, fell to the floor and seemed disoriented for a few seconds. She was a little out of it for a few minutes after. But it happened only that once thankfully.
You can use the search feature on the forum to look for "seizure" and "macro" too which should take you to threads and/or posts where these topics are discussed. Here is that link on macros:

I'm glad you decided to talk to us and look forward to learning more. Please stay in touch and let us know how your sweet baby boy is doing.
Hugs,
Leslie
