wobbly head. please help!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi!
I´m very worried. My baby all of the sudden started to feel tired, his head wobbly, weak legs and disoriented.
I gave him salt to make him vomit as I read on the web but he didn´t. I waited 10 mins and gave him honey but nothing happend and 10 mins latter gave him nutri-cal. Now he´s sleeping but I dont Know if a should ran to the emergency room.
PLEASE HELP. WHAT TO DO???

It sounds like he may be having a hypo episode. I'm not sure why you would give him salt.

Honey and Nutrical should have revived him quickly. Are his gums pink? When was the last time he ate?

If he is unresponsive, you need to take him to the ER vet immediately.

Here is some information on hypoglycemia:

THANK U SO MUCH for ur answer.
I gave him salt because i didn´t know what was happening with him, this is my first dog, and I thought he had eaten something bad that was making him feel like this!!!

He´s now sleeping. his last meal was at 10

How is this baby

?

I'm on a different time zone here - so I may be reading this wrong, but are you saying that his last meal yesterday was 10am, when you posted at 9pm? If I'm reading that wrong due to how it posted on my time zone, forgive me. Otherwise, this baby needs to eat much more often if he is a puppy - as in 3-4 times a day. But, I'm pretty sure this time thing just posted funny bc of our time zone difference.

That's what I thought. I hope she updates us this morning.

Vomiting would be the worst thing to do if it is A Hypo eposoide. Definately give him Nurtical or Karyo Syurp , rub it on his gums. That is only A tepm. fix though, so take him to the vet , for sure.
To advoid this in the future have Kibble down for him all the time with fresh water. Let him free feed.
I hope he is feeling better and doing well this morning.

Ooooh, on my screen - it says their last post was at 9:17PM - so to me, when they said he last ate at "10" - I was thinking 10AM

! Makes much more sense now!

Ellie May · 09-24-2008, 10:11 AM

How old is he?
What time did this happen and how long before had he eaten?
Was he walking in circles or running into things?
Did the nutrical pull him out of the episode or not?

Natty · 09-24-2008, 02:26 PM

Hi! Thank u all for ur concern. After the last time I wrote about the condition of my furbaby, everything started get better!

He fell aspleep and when he woke up 1 hour latter his head was ok. I Gave him a little more nutri-cal and he slept some more. 30 to 40 mins latter Rockerito woke up and went walking all the way to the bathroom where his wee-wee pad is located at to relieve himself. Can U imagine such a good boy!!

This morning he woke up as sweet as usual but feeling really tired and lacking of energy. He didn´t wanted his dry kibble so I gave him a piece of chicken breast dehydrated from halo treats. At this time he´s been sleeping all day and gaining his strenght back with the help of some boiled chicken breast, nutrical and water.

Today is a beautiful day. Yesterday I was feeling horrible, desperate not knowing what to do or what was happening with my little angel. Right now all if feel is gratefulnes to still have this precious life beside me and knowing that there are good friends in life to help you get through ur worst moments in life.

God bless U all and ur beautiful

Kisses from Rockerito

and mommy

I'm concerned that you say he didn't want his breakfast and slept all day. He shouldn't have a "hangover" from a hypo episode. They should bounce back almost immediately after you give them something to get their blood sugar up.

Keep an eye on him and if he still seems out of sorts tomorrow, I'd take him to your vet to be on the safe side.

Natty · 09-25-2008, 03:52 PM

Rockerito is back!!! My beloved puppy is him self again. Yesterday he slept almost all day long except for his meal times and bathroom brakes. He loved the chicken breast!! The vet told me it´s normal he slept so much because he was feeling as if he had ran 1 mile all by him self.After that he woke up at 10pm fully recharged. bitting, bouncing, running so I had to hold him in my arms a lot

Today he´s been all normal again but I´m still feeding him the chicken plus his orijen kibble and refraining him from running like a thunder around our apartment.
I´ve learned that I have to leave his food available at all times and I also made him a little sueter to keep him warm.

Thanks again to all of U for ur good help and good luck to all new yorkie mommies out there so that no one should go trough this very scary episodes ever.

Natty luvs Rockerito baby!

Ladymom · 09-25-2008, 04:04 PM

I am so glad Rockerito is all better!!!!!!

Your doing all the right things for your little guy! Leaving his food down all the time is very good when they are puppies.
