Something's wrong with Madlyn She was just fine, running around and playing, then I gave them all a bath and blow dried them and about a half hour later I noticed she looked drunk. She weaves when she stands still and I watched her lean into the wall for a minute, then almost fall down when she went to walk. She'll get almost catatonic like and she'll look all vacant and stare off into space and then she'll snap out of it and become perfectly normal for a few minutes, then start doing that all over again. She's eaten that I know of, (Royal canin) and she has had water. Her gums are still pink . Nose is kind of dry. Heartbeat seems ok. We couldn't find the honey so we gave her some syrup, and we had to force her to take it. I was thinking maybe hypoglycemia ? She's going on 8 months give or take now. What else could cause this? It's almost as if she's half drunk. She's laying down now. But I'm worried. here's a video of her . She wasn't actually weaving as bad in the video of course. http://youtu.be/2fo3Gf8mkQY |
She should be seen by a vet....Lynn |
update? |
I'm just guessing mind you, but I'm assuming it was a hypoglemic thing cause she seems just fine now. My roommate was here while we were gone and she said after Madlyn woke up she was fine and when we came home she was raising hell bouncing and barking like always. She seems good. I'm gonna keep a close eye on her in any case. |
That's a relief! |
That must have been a scary sight. Maybe you should keep Nutri-Cal in house for just in case. Thank goodness she's ok now. |
could she have got water in her ears and set her balance off |
That's quite possible, since I'd just bathed them all before she started acting strange |
She has that same little 'why do I feel weird' look that Piper gets if tummy upset or some such. Looking to us to make it all better---geez, tears me up! So very very very happy to hear that sweet marvelous Mady is doing well! How scary for you; hope you're doing as well as she!!! |
That's the hardest about having this little ones. When they are not feeling well and the can't tell you what is wrong. But after having pets my whole life. I've developed some techniques to kind of gauge when I need to make a vet run. For the obvious symptoms, like passing out or falling over, injury or intense pain (you can tell when the pain is intense because they cannot get comfortable for a sustained amount of time), all reasons I rush to the vet right away. I hope your little one feels okay. |

I had a cousin that died several years ago.....shot liver, etc alcoholic and long time drug user, then last 8 years of his life, he smoked pot and blew it in his mother's dogs faces.....he thought that was so funny watching those precious little darlings get high....he ended up killing two of them in a drug induced stupor.... NO SMOKING dope around the babies.... |
Wow. How scary. This is a good public message post. |
We should be careful not to misinform regarding marijuana bc it can be used medicinally with incredible results not seen elsewhere in both humans *and* animals. Many of our war Veterans are now using pot for their PTSD with just amazing changes, and the govt is paying it huge attention behind the scenes...in fact, they're now growing acres upon acres of pot and having it studied carefully. It's also just incredible for young children w/ severe epilepsy - ever hear of the pot named "Charlotte's Web"...? Incredible story. The pot/THC/chemicals is absorbed by inhaling it in the manner described here - so blowing it in the face of another being would only result in minor inhalations of the stuff. Sure, they could still get "high", but this would not be life threatening. Humans don't overdose (die) from pot, neither do animals. So while marijuana is quite a safe medication, it is NOT COOL to just give it to a poor animal to entertain yourself. That's horrible, and mean, and immature, and selfish. |
My neighbhors dog eat some of his pot and had to be rushed to the emergency vet because he was acting strange. They induce vomiting but he was okay. |

It would be good practice not to smoke pot around the dogs, so that one might not accidentally leave traces of it behind where the dogs may access it while the people are high and 'not really there'. If there's a chance of people accidentally leaving food on the coffee table and the dogs getting sick from eating it, there's just as much chance of accidentally leaving a bag of pot / joints / remains and the dogs getting to it too! It's really our responsibility to make sure we protect them because they cannot protect themselves... |
Yes she must have gotten a contact high. Poor little Madlyn, how scared she must have been. Sweet little baby. |
