If that is what happened -- arrrrggghhh! This poor little one already has so many strikes against him -- the breeder sold him too early, he did not yet weigh 2 pounds, and he flew for over 12 hours with plane changes to get to you. That is a LOT of stress for such a tiny baby. Are you giving him the Nutrical as suggested before? A seizure can be caused by low blood sugar. He is going to need extra care and kid gloves for a while, definately not left in a hot car!
He needs frequent small feedings. If he will not eat, use the syringe as suggested by Little Bit. Get some Goat's milk and dilute it with 1/2 water. Rub some of the Nutrical on his gums a few times a day. Keep him under CONSTANT supervision and be quick to react when he starts showing any sign of low blood sugar. Hopefully you have read all of the previous warnings about hypoglycemia. There is a sticky about it too.
You might want to contact the breeder to see if there is any way they will help with the vet bills. Since they were so unresponsive to the pup's needs before, I doubt they will willingly help, but you can try. Did they provide anything in the way of a health guarantee?
I am so sorry to hear little Coby is going through this -- I pray he will turn around and make it through this. But it is going to take a lot of help from you and your vet. Do not leave him alone for a minute. Keep him right with you, warm, fed, and safe.
