Jax woke up this morning and is his normal self again. I know this doesn't mean we are out of the woods by no means, but I am so happy to have him lick my face again and wag his little tail and growl at his sister
He scared me so much last night! This is the very first episode for anything like this. He has never had head pressing, or head bobbing, walking into walls, or turning circles. He has shaken on occasion but nothing that ever worried me much. He was perfect all day and then BAM-he was limp as a noodle and falling down. His mouth was sort of clenched a bit. I had to open his mouth to get the nutrical in. His legs then did this weird over to the side thing and stiff then he curled up his front paws to his chest and would not move them. His back legs were quivering. I literally thought he was dying in my arms. I kept rubbing his chest to keep him awake while waiting on my vet to get to the office. It was so horrible. He did develop the symptoms about 1 1/2 hours after he had eaten and he did not eat anything knew (that I know of). He did eat Molly's food as well as his own but that is nothing knew
He is a little piggy. He is very small~3.5 pounds but when we got him at 12 weeks, he only weighed 1.01 so I am very proud of his weight gain. I have noticed over the past couple of days that his bowel movements are very small like he is constipated but they are normal in color and he isn't straining. His tummy is soft and not distended at all and is non-tender. One thing that has always concerned me is he eats EVERYTHING he sees as normal pups do and usually when he does do this, his tummy is upset and he vomits and then is fine. He did vomit a few days ago, only bile, but who knows what he ate! I absolutely did not see him get into anything last night but I would imagine that he would have thrown it up if he had. The vet did not do any in-house tests because it is not an emergency clinic, he just came to check him out for me at the normal office and it was 9 at night. Unfortunately, I bet your right about the insurance not covering congenital disorders. Great. I guess liver shunts are considered congenital too. Why the heck do I have it then
By the way, Molly is acting okay....I hope she just licked the butter off the sauteed onions instead of eating any
She eats like a bird so I cannot imagine her eating an onion. She is a grazer and that is why Jax always snags her food! So as of right now, my boy is acting normal and he has eaten today but I made sure my husband fed him very small amounts. Thank you everyone for your advice. I truly appreciate it. Please keep praying for my boy. I love him so very much and I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep him healthy.
