Default Update: We found a vet open!

Just got back from the vet. I finally got one in three towns over (thats about 90 miles from here) and it was "Sugar Shock". I thought it was heat stroke, or hypoglcemia, even though it was not hot, the a/c was on, and she had not been doing any physical activity. So anyway, the whole way there I was rubbing nutra-cal on her gums on and off, because my husband has hunting dogs and said if they run to long/ have heat stroke, they get them cooled off and feed them nutra-cal.

So thats what I was doing. She is SO much better now. He gave her some electrolytes and some glucose and in 30 minutes her breathing returned to normal and she was walking fine, just added really tired. He said she should be fine and to watch her close.

I was FREAKING out when I wrote that, cause I couldn't get a hold of any of these redneck vets! What is the point in an emergency line if I can't call them in an emergency?!

Anyway, she should be fine and she is feeling much better now and did eat a little.

Thank you all for your help.
