Good evening everyone and thank you for this Emergency Forum.

We have a 5-year-old Teacup, yesterday and early this morning he was fine and had no issues, later in the morning my wife noticed that he was limping and favoring one of his paws. He was very guarded when we attempted to check his foot, we in turn wrapped him in a towel to examine the leg and paw and found nothing to be abnormal.

Called the Vet, he said he would be ok and bring him in the morning.

During the day, he was walking, but favoring his paw but seemed to be ok, then about 8 hours later he was having a difficult time getting up on all fours. We mixed the Dextrose Mix for he went through Hypoglycemia when he was younger. (No change noted for Dextrose) He has now become VERY LETHARGIC and can hardly move.

We have called the Vet again, however he is a family may be at church or the lake so we are getting desperate and would like to see if we can get some suggestions or options.

Please, this is my Wife’s Life since our son has moved on after college.

Sincerely,
John & Lisa
La Plata, MO
