About 20 mins later Jade(puppy) was running around but her equilibrium still looked lke it was off. We called the 24 hour vet hospital and they said to let her nap but only with a close watch. So we keep checking on her every 10-15 mins making sure her response were ok. After about 4 hours we left her rest up through the night, and now our baby seems to be doing great. Things got a little scary last night and i just wanted to thank everyone. The breeder also said that up until she is 6 months old she can have diz spells that typically last 4-7 days. When that happens we are supposed to give her some sugar and some r and r. Anyhow we are giving her some vitamins daily for a while and then we will go from there.....Thanks |
Glad she is OK - However, the above statement makes NO sense
Please look up Liver Shunt and just keep *that* info in the back of your mind. I am sure she just had low blood sugar, BUT you must also be aware that LS is huge genetic defect that Yorkies are 36 times more likely to have than any other breed. "Drunken" state is one of the #1 symptoms of LS
