My yorkie went to mate for the 1st time yesterday. I stayed for around 45 mins and left him. I was going to pick him up later in the evening. The woman called and said something was wrong. She brought him to me and he had a thick gel-like substance coming out of his mouth, his eyes were like glass, and he was limp an lifeless. I immediately rushed him to the vet. I was hysterical and was sure he was dead. They gave him fluids and shots and he spent the night. This morning they called with news that he was much better and could come home. He has slept most of the day and ate some, drank some, and played a little. He is still exhausted. They believe that his sugars just got extremely low and he bottomed out. How could this have happened so quickly? He eats on a regular basis. I felt like the Worst mom in the world and was never going to forgive myself. Needless to say I am going to get him and fixwed and he will never mate again. I'd pay a million dollars for another yorkie before I put his life in jeopardy. I was just wondering what and why this could have happend so quickly???
