Thank you for all the replies. I apologize for not replying sooner. It was a very worrisome weekend with Mija. I ended up taking her to another vet for a second opinion. This vet wants to take blood and do a screening panel, but can't get it done until tomorrow due to the Memorial weekend. He said she is too little to take blood and have an abnormal test result come back after having the blood sit until Wednesday.
My daughter came to visit and brought her new puppy with her (another Dobe named Xyrah Nicole Attiestar). Mija was excited and energetic for about 20 minutes. For a short time the playful Mija was back!! Then she started doing all her swaying, being lethargic, tripping, and she even started falling off the couch. Even when we held her, she would sway and her head would bob. She barely ate any food, and we ended up giving her water by syringe. She did eat one serving of wet food with the yogurt, but then she turned her nose up to it. Yesterday she did eat a bit of her wet food and began drinking on her own. I called the vet and he said to continue what I was doing and bring her in on Wednesday. I thought maybe she is hypoglycemic and gave her a bit of corn syrup (as that was all I had on hand) but it didn't help too much. I know it takes time and will continue to do as I have until tomorrow at 9:00.
My daughter says I need to stop reading on what may be wrong with Mija and just let the vet diagnose. But if I don't read on what may be wrong then I won't know what pertinent questions to ask. |
