| Lacy had seizures daily due to low blood sugar (white gums is a sign of hypoglycemia). Did the vet do a blood test to confirm or deny low blood sugar? Make sure he eats very frequently and gets plenty of rest. Puppies really should sleep a lot, maybe he is trying to hard to keep up with your others and you need to give him time outs to get the rest he needs. Lacy eventually outgrew her seizures at about 3 and 1/2 months. No reason other than low blood sugar was ever found. Seizures are a very frightening thing to watch. Lacy's eyes were wide open and she would be laying on her side and with her head thrown back turn in a circle. If her toe nails would get caught on a blanket it didn't matter - she would just keep turning. I never, ever left her alone during this time period, but then one day they just stopped. Continue to use the Nutrical and you can administer it in the anus, if necessary. |

| ... He is not normally around my other babies because he is so tiny. He does get nutrical and he drinks water and eats a whole lot regulerly. I kppe food and water with him at all times but I am now also hand feeding him canned food hourly. He is eating the canned food great now but he is very tired. I am giving him nutrical throughout the day. The vet I went to was not open for a regular day due to performing cat surgeries so they didn't have the equipment there (they are a mobile vet too) to run the proper tests but they were the only vet open around here today so they didn't get the blood work processed today. They said they didn't know a reason for this attack because he does eat all of the time and drink loads of water. They said the signs he was exhibiting were more common in puppies or dogs who didn't eat or drink for long periods of time. Indiana even ate that morning and drank all of his water from his bowl which I immediately refilled. He never goes without food or water. They is why it worries them. Because there was nothing that should have caused it. But to be safe I have raised the times he gets the nutrical and I am putting him on baby food. (Chicken and vanilla from what his breeder suggested). Hopefully all of the things I am doing will keep him stable and get him better fast. The problem here now is that I am too scared to rest or sleep tonight! I am so scared if I take my eyes off him too long he will have no one to save him (heaven forbid anything else happens). I mean I was up all night last night with a headache and upon seeing he and the other babies were all acting ok I went to sleep today for a few hours to wake up to him that way. I don't know when I will feel safe enough to sleep again but I am too scared to do it tonight. Does it ever get easier? I almost feel like I am going crazy here worrying and not knowing if I am going to mess up. I feel like a bad mommy! If I had not gone to sleep he would have had help sooner and maybe not gone through any of this but I did and I have no idea how long he was laying there that way. I do know I ended up sleeping for almost 4 hours and when I found him he was limp and drooling. Maybe I am a bad mommy. I just know I will do anything to make him better! I love him soooooooooo much! He is my baby. He is sleeping right now but so still I keep getting tempted to wake him just to know he is alive. Really does that ever stop? I have never gone through anything like this before my last boy and I think I am truly reliving that in my head every time I look at Indie. I just want to make everything better for him but I have no idea how to do that! I do honestly think if I didn't have YT to turn to I would go nuts worrying. (i know i know I am worrying now...but at least I can express my thoughts here and het ideas or help or support). Thank you all for taking the time to read my thoughts and fears here! It is because of all of you that I am getting through this! ~Tru

| I was just reading through a link on hypoglycemia and it mentioned it could be caused by coccidia, giardia or other parasites. Are you sure all is well on that end? The runny poo tells me that something is still wrong or you might be overdosing him on the Nutrical. Put him on boiled chicken and rice until the stool firms up and feed small amounts every 2 -3 hours. Also, black is an indication of blood in the stools which could come from a hookworm infestation. It would also cause anemia which might be the pale gum reason. The meds for coccidia don't actually kill the parasite - it just keeps them from reproducing until the pup's own immunity system can overcome them. Maybe he needs another course of antibiotics or maybe he has another parasite and needs a different medicine. Keep in close touch with your vet and breeder until you can figure out what is going on with this baby. |

| oh my... ok here is something funny...well unusual. I knew Indiana was eating when I fed him but not as much in his crate...i just found out why: Juliet eats with him when i normally feed him...she has become his aopted and aapte mommy. he copies her. I put her in his crate an put food in there and as soon as she began eating he ate until he was full like he normally does. I think the time in the crate during the day messed him up...confsed him and messed with his routein. he is acting normal with her there. She is in all ways important to him and his new mommy. Hopefully all is balanced now! :-) ~Tru

| I just read this thread and what a scare you had! I hope and pray he will do better, and it sounds like that's already happening with Juliet pampering him. I hope you can get some sleep! I'll say a prayer for Indiana!!! Bless your heart!
