Rollerblading along the road
This afternoon was pretty bad and scary. I noticed that I hadn't seen Rosie for a couple of hours so I went searching for her. I lifted the blankets on my bed and saw her in horrible condition. She was barely breathing and her heart rate was very slow and irregular. Her jaw was clenched tight, couldn't open her eyes, wasn't responding, and was limp. Yelled "babe!, Rosie, emergency" to my husband and he came in and got her while I grabbed the syrup to rub on her gums for the drive. Always seems you hit every red light in these situations. Got her there and told them she needed glucose now. Thankfully, they were able to stabilize her and brought her temp from 92.2 back up to 99 over the course of 4 hours and let her come home.
Unfortunately, this is the second time I have taken her in like this. First time was worse... the vet tech was immediately saying we have to resuscitate her now- do you approve?! Ever since she was a puppy we have always had issues with her glucose levels being stable. Then last June she started having seizures in her sleep. Back to the vet we went where they did many tests on her. They even had a specialist come in and do an ultrasound on her brain and liver. There was no real reason found as to why she was having seizures. We decided that if she didn't have any more then no medications. She was seizure free for about 5 months. I am not sure if she had a seizure today and then the hypoglycemic episode followed or what. Rosie only weighs a little under 2 pounds and is a little over two years old. So when something is wrong, she goes downhill quickly.
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas or further testing I could have done for her. The e-vet we saw today mentioned testing for Addisons Disease. But, is there anything else?
She always has an appetite and I feed her Wellness Toy Breed which she loves. I could say that she seems to always be up and down though. Most of the time she is good but other times, its as if she is depressed or something.
