| off balance-sick i just got home from work a while ago and my baby is wobbly. she stands and then her legs slide from under her and she loses her balance. she won't eat and she has no energy. my boyfriend said she threw up about 3 hours ago. i don't know what to do. do you think it is head trauma? maybe she ate something poisonous? i asked if these were possibilities but boyfriend, people in the house say they haven't seen any of the above. any help!?

| If her gums seem ok I would call the ER Vet, and take her in they are so small you don't want to take any chances |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I would take her in right away. One of mine was like that and it was a reaction to the lawn that was fertilized. It sounds like a reaction to something toxic and I would get her to the vet right away. Please keep us posted.

| she is acting like she has energy, when i really ask her to get up. but other than that, she is laying down, not wanting to get up, like she normally does. and is still a bit wobbly when she gets up.

| ok.. i just took her put to pee. she went. brought her back in and she went running through the house a few times and went right back to her bed, and is laying down... maybe she's feeling better? it's weird, she seems like she doesn't feel that bad but yet, something is wrong. i'm not going to rush to the vet yet.

| I'd probably take her in to the ER vet. You should at least call them to get their advice. |

| at 12:30 last night she ate and drank on her own and peed... this morning she seems to be a WHOLE lot better. she slept with me and woke up giving me lots of kisses like she normally would. peed and pooped after that. i think she was poisoned or head trauma.. whatever it was, i believe she is gonna make a full recovery. thanks everyone for your comments and concerns. i did not rush her to the vet mostly because i cannot afford an emergency visit, also, i was using my mommy instincts. my baby has been through some health problems and i am pretty aware of her symptoms and actions. i will do whatever it takes to see she is well, but thank god my instincts were right and she is doing REALLY well now. again thanks for all the concerns!
