Did my dog have a stroke?

We have a 14 year old Brittney Spaniel who has had some liver infections in the past. Today he vomitted some yellow mucousy stuff, but when he vomitted he lost his balance and fell to one side. \he then started shaking. We had a dog who used to have seizures because of a brain tumor, but this wasn't like that. He was shaking but seemed alert. He didn't lose control of his bowels or bladder, and he didn't seem disoriented afterward. He didn't drool or shake too violently either. He was just shaking his legs, seemingly uncontrollably for about 30 secs-1 min. We have a vet appointment for him, but if anyone knows what might be wrong, please let us know. Does it sound like a stroke or heart attack?

Update:

He just stumbled again, but no vomit this time.

    Why are you waiting to go to the vet's. Go to the emergency vet's NOW, get off your computer. We are not medical experts and cannot answer your question. Please take the dog to the vet's before it's too late.

    he might be having mini strokes or little seizures which can make them fall and shake for a short time.my ole poodle use to shake and fall or kind of sway until he gained his balance and when he breathed u could hear the fluid in his lungs. he was the same age so ur vet will be able to tell u whats going on tommorrow and maybe give him something to control liitle strokes or seizures just give him lots of love and attention and a good balanced meals. good luck
