A chill, lack of food or water, stress, excitement, a number of things can bring it on. They are very very fragile when they weigh so little. I didn't need to take her to the vet, thank goodness, because I had researched the subject to death before I got the girls and knew exactly what to watch for and what I was looking at when it happened. Had she not come out of it when she did, of course I would have. But, luckily it turned out okay. I failed to block the air conditioning vent in their room and it got chilled. I've been super vigilante about this health issue since the day I got them and that was my one (so far) failure. I hope it never happens again, because it is very scary. I think they are very very near death when it happens. That is one of the reasons that it is so important that these little ones are a bit older and weigh a bit more when we get them. It's all about survival and health. A teeny tiny dead puppy isn't nearly as cute as a little bit bigger little bit older live one.
Of course, heated cars and seizures are a whole 'nother issue.... |
yes this is what happen and cobys eyes kept closing but i would keep them open by calling his name i put a whole bumch of the nutrical in his month and yes it did help him but he was still weak i dont think i;ll give him anymore tonight because i gave him alot.. and the vet did say his blood sugar was high
