| restless, pacing, spacey Hi all, I'm really worried about Baby Chan. She has been pacing around the house, tail down, ears pinned back. She has got a sad look on her face. She is wobbly, drunk looking. Sometimes she is shaking. She can't get comfortable anywhere. She won't touch her normal food. I made her some boiled chicken and she's eating that up good. She doesn't really want me touching her or picking her up. This has been going on for 2 days now. Her recent blood work was all fine. Oh another weird thing is tonight for a few minutes she started shaking her head lots. Almost like uncontrollable twitching. Scared the crap out of me. Didn't want to take her to the hospital today so if this keeps up, vet right away tomorrow. Any ideas? Baby Chan just turned 1, she's eating Merricks canned, very picky eater, very small baby. I think she might be in pain. I'm so sad and scared. Also recently I left her alone with another puppy and that was the night when this all started. She ate some of his food and she did throw it all up when we got home. Maybe she got hurt? Any ideas? Has this ever happened to your dog? |

| Obviously your girl is not herself. I am not really sure what you might be dealing with here. My best advice is to have her seen by a vet. If it was one of my girls I would take them in tonight. Especially since this has been going on for two days now. Really a vet is the best option at this point.

| I think you should be very worried and take her to the ER doctor now. Why the hesitation for 2 days?

| I definitely could not sit for two days and watch one of my pups go though that. I would be at the EC. I hope she is ok.

| Yesterday I thought she was just having tummy trouble, so common for her. Yesterday being Saturday, and Friday night was when she ate the kibble at my aunts house, I thought she was sick from eating different food. I truly wanted to believe she would get better but now I see she is not. I'm trying to wait it out and see my vet tomorrow. Last time I went to the hospital, I ended up leaving there and going straight to my vet as soon as they opened. My girl has got such a history that it's hard dealing with a doctor who doesn't know her. I should have taken her in immediately yesterday! So stupid of me! I regret waiting. She seems worse. Pacing, sad. Won't play. |

| Forget yesterday. What about now? If she looks in that much distress you might regret waiting.

| I'm not crazy about the idea of an ER doc either, but your pup's symptoms would scare me enough to get to one. Your pup may not be able to wait this out until morning. Sending prayers for her.

| Shaking head and wobbly, along with all of the other symptoms for 2 days...I would go and not risk losing my baby or having further damage done.

| I agree. You said it is worse than yesterday....I would not chance finding out if it was going to get even worse by tomorrow.

| These are neurological symptoms and the ONLY right answer is to take your pup in right now. Even better would be to see if there is an ER near you that is also a specialty hospital. Might get further faster that way. Just don't wait. If neuro symptoms (generally twitching/inability to stand/head shaking type combo is neuro), your pup may need help immediately. If there is any seizing going on that you aren't picking up on and they start stringing together, it will make this even worse. I completely get the hesitancy to bring a new doctor into this now/hating to deal with the ER thing, but that doesn't matter now. Your pup's life may be in danger.

| Oh, I would have been sitting at the vet the day I saw those symptoms. You just don't wait with a dog as they cannot tell you what it wrong but leave it to you to "read" them through their behavior and the way they look. Get that baby to the vet now.

| Oh my....so sorry to hear your furbaby is going through this. Please listen to all of the advise the other YT members have been telling you. I agree, I'm not crazy about the ER vets either but she needs to be seen ASAP. Please keep us posted.
