| How scary!! I am so sorry this happened to poor Coby! Please make sure he eats something. If you have to you can syringe canned food and water into his mouth. Please keep us updated.

| How old is Coby? How much does he weigh? Does he ever act off after he eats? When did he have his seizure?

| Did you leave him inside the car while you went in the store? Was he alone? What were the temperatures there at the time? Is there anything in the car he could have gotten into? I'm sorry he's not feeling well. I'll keep him in my prayers.

| sounds like hypoglycemia my bug did the same thing. she is on the small side. she was stiff, head was stuck to one side. (sometimes the neck locks) Keep nutrical on hand at all times!!! I quick put nutrical in her mouth, wrapped her up and started rubbing. It took probably 1/2 an hour to bring her out of it. They are very close to dying at that point. A chill, lack of food or water, stress, excitement, a number of things can bring it on. They are very very fragile when they weigh so little. I didn't need to take her to the vet, thank goodness, because I had researched the subject to death before I got the girls and knew exactly what to watch for and what I was looking at when it happened. Had she not come out of it when she did, of course I would have. But, luckily it turned out okay. I failed to block the air conditioning vent in their room and it got chilled. I've been super vigilante about this health issue since the day I got them and that was my one (so far) failure. I hope it never happens again, because it is very scary. I think they are very very near death when it happens. That is one of the reasons that it is so important that these little ones are a bit older and weigh a bit more when we get them. It's all about survival and health. A teeny tiny dead puppy isn't nearly as cute as a little bit bigger little bit older live one. Of course, heated cars and seizures are a whole 'nother issue....

He needs frequent small feedings. If he will not eat, use the syringe as suggested by Little Bit. Get some Goat's milk and dilute it with 1/2 water. Rub some of the Nutrical on his gums a few times a day. Keep him under CONSTANT supervision and be quick to react when he starts showing any sign of low blood sugar. Hopefully you have read all of the previous warnings about hypoglycemia. There is a sticky about it too. You might want to contact the breeder to see if there is any way they will help with the vet bills. Since they were so unresponsive to the pup's needs before, I doubt they will willingly help, but you can try. Did they provide anything in the way of a health guarantee? I am so sorry to hear little Coby is going through this -- I pray he will turn around and make it through this. But it is going to take a lot of help from you and your vet. Do not leave him alone for a minute. Keep him right with you, warm, fed, and safe.

| A high WBC count is a sign of infection. A temperature of 98 is far below the norm for a dog. Sounds like other issues are going on with your little one. Please keep in contact with the vet, and keep us posted as to his status. Hang in there. |
