| Please help, there's something wrong with Sasha I just got home from work and went to take Sasha out of her crate (she was only in there about 45 minutes, my husband and I work opposite shifts) and normally she's all excited and going crazy when I get home. I had to pull her out of the crate, she was just standing there, nothing. I took her out to potty and she just sat there, didn't want to walk around or anything. This sounds dumb but it's like she's on drugs or something. She doesn't want to eat (although I did get her to take some nutri-cal), walk around, play, or anything. Her eyes are only half open and when she inhales, it's kind of staggered. I did see her walk for a minute when I put her down and she wasn't limping, and I felt all over her for some type of injury (although like I said, she was in her crate, home alone, and she's my only pet) and she didn't wimper at all. Please help me I don't know what to do, I've only had her for 2 weeks and she's never acted like this, she's always licking, spunky, and running around everywhere (she's 6 months). Anyone please respond back with some input.

| She might be coming down with a puppy cold. Just call a vet and see what they say. You did good by giving her NutriCal, make sure she's drinking water atleast.

| Look at her gums . . .if they aren't a nice healthy pink, then yes, she could be having a low blood sugar episode.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | With a low sugar episode the Nutrical should help pretty quickly. When did she last eat? Has she been coughing at all? I would get her to a vet quickly as she could have a respiratory condition and need medical attention. Do you have a 24 hour vet near by. Please keep us posted.

| I just got back from the vet. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. The tested her blood sugar and it was normal, thank God. They did find a small bump or bite above her eye, they think that might be the cause of what's going on with her. It's really annoying, that after 2 hours and $220.00 they couldn't tell me exactly what was wrong with her. They gave her fluids and benadryl and sent me home with some special food. I just need to watch her overnight, and hopefully she'll be back to normal by the morning or I have to take her back. She seems a little better though, at least she ate. She's now resting comfortably in my lap... Thank you all for your concern and prayers! I'll update on her tomorrow!

| Thank goodness she has a loving Mom, and I think you are the greatest!!! Even though it was pricy, you will sleep better tonight, I doubt you would have rested for worrying about her. I hope she improves and this will be the end of her reaction, How scary this must have been...Keeping her in our doggy prayers tonight. Sharon, Joey and Cabella |

| Hey guys, Sasha is doing a little better today, but still not back to her normal self. She slept in bed with me last night (she's been crated every other night because we're still potty training) but she did really well. I was up through the night with her making sure she was drinking and staying hydrated, and at least she's eating as well. The bump where the injury was has gone down thankfully, I can barely see it now. I'm wondering if she fell and hit her head on something and no one saw, because I find it very hard to believe that she was bitten by something in my back yard like the vet suggested (or should I say guessed at, because he was clueless). I live in Las Vegas, and my back yard consists of dirt and rocks, and it's about the size of a large master bedroom... there's really nothing back there. Plus, my hubby had her on a harness and leash and was with her the whole time watching. Do you guys think this could have been some sort of head trauma instead? Can dogs get a concusion? This is so nerve racking, it truely is like having another child! Thank you all for your support and prayers, and I'll keep posting here to let you guys know how she's doing over the next couple of days!

| Hey I'm glad to hear that Sasha is staying hydrated and that she's eating a little better today. I've been reading and apparently dogs can get concussions. Just google it and you'll find several articles on it. Aren't you just angry at the vet for "guessing"? You guys are still in our thoughts Kandi |
