Take her to a vet immediately! This could be so many things from hypoglycemia, hydrocephalus, liver shunt, or a neurological problem.

I really hate to say this but the problem sounds serious and could very likely be long term and I think you should be prepared to either have the high vet bills (which is common in these little ones) or take her back to the breeder.

If you decide to keep her then make sure that she eats well. These little ones can be so finicky and if they don't eat, then their blood sugar can quickly drop. Try this recipe that I got off of here. It helps keep their blood sugar up and they really seem to like it.

1/2 cup goat's milk
1/2 cup Gerber rice cereal
1 jar of Gerber's baby meat (I used beef)
1 tsp. karo syrup

It originally used half and half but I replaced it with the goat's milk because the half and half tends to cause diarrhea. You might also want to add a liquid supplement called Rebound that you can get at the vet's office. This will give her all the nutrients and vitamins that she needs.

I hope she gets better soon, let us know what you decided!
