I was immediately scared to death and then he began to shake and was very near a full seizure. I called our local e.r. vet , which is a friend of my sister's and he happened to be out of town! So I called the next closest place, which was 40 minutes away and said we would be right there. I started to supplement him with Karo syrup in case it was hypoglycemia and we headed in. I thought he was not going to make it. We got there and they kept him for observation, his blood test came back slightly elevated by the time we got there and he was a little more satable by then. He had a temp. of 96 degrees and low blood pressure. He stabilized after about an hour, and that vet thought he had a toxicity of some sort. The other vet called back to check on him and dissagreed and believes he had a hypoglycemic episode. I am still scared that this will happen again, but I am hopeful there is not anything bigger going on with him. He is very small and he means so much to us. I thought I would share this and if anyone has other suggestions to what may have happened, I would love to hear about it. ( They were also talking about meningitis, and liver shunt, but I think we have ruled the meningitis out for now) |
Well done you , what a brill mummy . I don't know if I would know what to do if it was Tia.One things for sure I'm going to get some karo syrup, can I get it in the uk?
Hope its a speedy recovery.
