My little girl Maggie is 5 months old and weighs 3-4lbs. Last night she started acting funny. She was extremely tired and wobbly. I gave her a squirt of nutracal and hyped her up. She seemed her self again and even ate her dinner. This morning she was herself and doing good even eating all her food. But 3 hours later she was extremely tired like the night before. I gave her a squirt of nutracal and layed down with her. When my husband came home a few minutes later she tried to get up to greet him but started to shake and didn't want to stand. I brought her to the vet within the next 30 minutes. They checked her temperature, blood sugar, heart rate, and did blood work. Now I'm playing the waiting game.
He blood sugar was normal as well as her temperature. Her blood work came back normal as well. He blood sugar did drop alittle from when they first tested it to when they did her blood work. They were unable to test her ATL level because they were having problems with the machine but would do it in a few days. I was left with it being (1) possibly her blood sugar (2) liver shunt, not sure until her ATL is tested (3) she ingested some sort of toxin although she hasn't had diarrhea or vomiting or (4) distemper which she will be tested for tomorrow.
It makes me nervous not knowing and just waiting to see. They did give her a squirt of nutracal before I brought her home and it seemed to perk her up. I'm hoping its just her blood sugar and I'm watching her tonight. The vet said to give her a snack every few hours along with the nutracal incase it is the sugar level. Does anyone have any helpful suggestion to what could be wrong with her? I'm bringing her back tomorrow free of charge to see if she is doing any better but I just want answers....
