| Sleeping a lot Capone has been sleeping all day, he played a little then jumped back in my bed and went back to sleep. He's eating fine and seems to be himself when he's awake. Should I be concerned? He is on benadryl for his allergies, but I stopped giving it to him 2 days ago because its not working. He's just sleeping and sleeping.

| Benedryl is very sedating and can really knock them out. Lady can't take it because she can barely walk when she does. If you haven't given it to him in two days, though, it should be out of his system. I'd give your vet a call to check, though. |

| I don't know why he's doing this. I'm kind of nervous. He will barely walk, if I try to stand him up he just collapses and goes back to sleep a few minutes later. If he's still acting like this tomorrow, we are going to the vet.

| I'd probably give him some Nutrical and see if that spunks him up. Check his gums and see if they are pale. Maybe it's cold in your house? If he is collapsing when you try to stand him up I wouldn't wait he may of possibly gotten into something! |

| This morning he woke up perfectly normal, playing and running around. I am at work for 4 hours so I will see when I get home how he is acting. I've never had a bile acid test done, didn't even know what it was until I just looked it up. I hope he is ok, I was kind of worried last night because every time I moved him he wouldn't even try to stand he would just fall where I put him.
