| Please, please help us I just came running home from work because my daughter called me crying that something is wrong with our (just turned one yesterday) Cody. When I left here at 6:30pm he was fine. Right now he is awake, alert however he cant walk, he looks like he has parkinson's he has tremors, I was thinking maybe hypoglycemia but he is too alert. His head is slowly bopping, u know, like some one with parkinson's. When I stand him up he stays in place and still has these tremors. This is new and it is scary, I cant take him to a vet right now it is 1am no emergency vet available and I am due back to work in 1 hour. Please if anyone has experience this, please share. Thank u!!

| Is he still trembling? Give him some Nutr-cal or some kayo syrup. What color are his gums? Could he have gotten into anything? |

| no stiffening, no incontinence, no vomiting or diarrhea, not shaking more wobbly than anything else, as I mentioned in my other reply, he is walking like a new born calf, or horse even. What could it be, I am so afraid

| no not staggering, and he doesnt have access to any chemicals. I keep every cleaning product up in a cabinet and I dont keep alcohol in the house. He is awake, lying on my daughter's belly and when she puts him down he just stands there wobbling tries to take a few steps but cant

| I think I'd be trying my hardest to find an emergency vet. It's a good idea to have an emergency number on hand for situations like this. If the syrup or Nutri-cal isn't working then you definitely need to be taking him in. Hope everything ends up alright. Good luck!

| Oh and check his gums and tell the ones that are asking the color. This is very important in certain situations.

| Is it possible that Cody could have chewed an electrical cord? The symptoms you are describing could be electrical shock. Look in his mouth for a burn. |
