| 5 mo. puppy has wobbly head... I came home to find my little Winston lethargic and wobbly... Looked like he was drunk... took him to the vet but heart rate and temp was fine... drew blood to test his liver... He seems to have stopped wobbling but is very very lethargic still... anyone have any thoughts about what may be going on? His blood sugar seemed fine but they did send us home with some glucose.... |

| ANYTIME you stumble on your baby, looking like a drunken sailor, first thing you do is give him NutriStat immediately...you should have a tube of that on hand if you own a Yorkie....if you do not have NurtiStat (NutriCal same thing), put Karo syrup on his tongue,,,if you have a syringe, you need to give him about 2cc....then head to the vet. If it is hypoglycemia (lo blood sugar) the Karo or NutriStat will correct it quickly enough to keep him from deteriorating into seizures and unconsciousness, coma and death. If is isnt his blood sugar, it isnt going to hurt him....and you will be on your way immediately to a vet...DONT CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!!....THIS IS EMERGENT! Did they check his glucose with the blood work they drew? I would be VERY concerned they sent me home with a very lethargic puppy and no diagnosis.... #2.....Contact your breeder immediately...she should at least be concerned about this.....

| Update Glucose levels were normal... He stayed very lethargic until about 8pm then suddenly started running around as normal... Vet called first thing this morning and said the blood work came back fine... Vet feels that the puppy probably got into something (ingested something) but suggest keeping a close eye on him... I hope thats what happened but it is scary not to know for sure what caused the problem... |

| im glad hes better..hoping that if he did get into something that it goes away for good. stay on top of it so you know for sure that he has gotten better and maybe check his poops to see if you can find an answer. prayers everything is ok.

| Could he have possibly gotten a pill that was dropped on the floor? You are right....no clear defined answers to weird behavior is scary.....I am glad he is good to go this am! |
