First of all thanks for the responses! We came back this evening, and he looked a bit better, although still distressed and wobbly/falling over, he seemed a bit better than last night.

We took him to the vet anyway, the vet said although the symptoms were there, there is no ways he would be moving as he is now/bounce back from it so quick(a stroke), with specific mention of the fact that he can move in both directions.

He was certain that this was another case of the ear infection again!

so @Serendipity7000 & @souffle your advice was well received as getting him to the vet was obviously the best bet. We tend to panic when things like this happen. All the symptoms were there for us to assume a stroke, turns out its a more aggressive infection than the last one.

So we are on a round of baytril and cortisone again. its been about 30 minutes since the shots and he is now passed out in his house.

The trip to the vet also stressed him out a lot which cant be good for him, but I guess it is what we must do to get him well again.
