Oscar and I have been playing on the floor all morning, and all of a sudden he just lay down and closed his eyes. I picked him up and he was as limp as a rag doll and curled up on my lap and closed his eyes again ... his head was kind of doing that "bobble head" thing people have talked about in other threads. I put him on the ground and he couldn't quite keep his balance. He is extremely hyperactive, and this behavior definitely isn't normal for him.

I just syringed a little Karo syrup into his mouth and he seems to be back to normal. Can I safely assume he blood sugar was just a little low? He's a bigger puppy (almost 5 lbs at 4 months) and we haven't had any of these issues yet.

My hands are trembling so hard it's hard to type ... he scared the $%#@! out of me.
