My little girl woke up early this morning and threw up her food, and my husband discovered her next to it weak with whitish gums. She's had fleas recently, and had just went to the vet yesterday morning to get her meds for them, and I read online that they can drain the blood fast in a small dog, and cause this. we quickly gave her a bath with flea shampoo. She seemed to come around, and I put the flea meds on her. After her bath, she seemed very energized and wild again. We watched her close for an hour and she was nuts, aka back to normal. Her gums and toung were pink again.
We left to run some errands, and came back about an hour later, and she'd been napping, and was normal, jumping around and happy, even trying to jump on the couch to get our breakfast! Then we sat on the couch to watch a show, and she slept between us for about 20 minutes, and when we went to get up, she was weak again, and her gums gray/white. We held her and lay her down to rest, and after a little while she came around, even ate some food for me. I've been checking her skin, and she feels as hydrated as normal, but we've used a syringe to shoot some water down her throat just to be safe.
She keeps having these spells where she's absolutely fine and normal, and her gums and toung all look healthy, then she gets all weak and her gums are pale. While she's weak, she's very aware, moving her head and ears as we move around, even walking if prompted. Then after a while, she's normal and fine again.
This morning she threw up food, and then a few minutes ago she didn't care to even move to throw up white foam. She's now just cuddled in a blanket on the couch not feeling well
This morning we also gave her water and nutri-cal but she only had it in her for a short minute before she threw it up. She kept the food down she ate for mea earlier though.
Any ideas?
