Today she is not doing so good and I am very worried. She had a seizure earlier and is pretty lathargic and weak. Her head kinda shakes and now that is is walking again she is walking kinda sidewards. Earlier she couldnt even stand without collapsing. The vet did put fluids under her skin because she was dehydratedwhich I dont understand, she hasnt been vomiting or diarrhea. The vet said to syringe her pedialyte and try to get her to eat. Gosh I am just so worried about this baby. Is there anything I can do to help her or something that Im doing wrong? She hasnt urinated in almost 5 hours also. Please help with any advise.

Are you sure she didn't get a piece of something she shouldn't have?
I would be so worried but if it is just one bad day, then maybe it is okay. If it were to go on I would definately change her diet. I know RC 14 is one of the best for this but sometimes it just doesn't cut it.
I have no idea why the fluids if she wasn't dehydrated.
Have you tried some of the techniques like giving part of a juiced zuccini to clease the liver?

Poor girl...I'm sorry.
