How horrible this tiny little 1 lb 5.16 ounce baby (had to run a conversion to visualize size) was left in such disgusting condition! Thankful you have rescued him, cleaned and debugged him, and now getting medical attention! I am so sorry your little one appears to have such a serious condition.
Many of the things that come to my mind have already been listed. Seizures can also be caused by low blood pressure,especially in our tiny breed. Metabolic diseases like diabetes and low calcium can cause a seizure. I have seen low calcium start to cause a seizure in a whelping female. They start to get weak and lose their balance. Lead posioning can cause seizures and puppies are susceptible due to their prolific chewing. I think blood work should show that. Head trauma and central nervous system problems can all lead to seizures. With the neglect you saw in your little one, a head injury would not be out of the realm of possibilities. Heat stroke and hypoglycemia can also bring on a seizure, but since you had the pain episode at night, that seems unlikely.
Have you noticed your little one drinking a lot, peeing a lot, drooling and running in circles? These are symptoms of liver shunt. Symptoms usually get worse after they eat if it is liver shunt.
I know I am just throwing things out there. But maybe you can at least have the doc rule them out for you. Wishing you and your little one the very best. Know that you have done everything you can and he is where he needs to be to get professional help. Saying a prayer for him! |
