My 12 lb. Chihuahua mix started having seizures and vomiting. We took her to the emergency animal hospital and they THINK she may have eaten snail bait because she matches all the symptoms for it. They gave her muscle relaxant and charchol so her seizures stopped. They wanted to keep her for forty eight hours to get her all better but we simply could not afford to spend $1800 on her for that stay so she only stayed 12 hours and then we took her home. She is trembling still and can barely walk. She wants to drink but if I let her drink more than a few laps at a time, she throws up. She won't touch any food, and won't even drink water with a piece of kibble floating in it. She stops trembling when she lays down but she still has sensitivity to light and sound. Is there anything else I can do for her to help her get better???
I could not afford to take her to the vet. I got her as much veterinary attention as i could as opposed to getting her euthanized, and I am already paying her vet bill over six months. You guys were useless. :P She is doing much better. She has a crazy high metabolism so whenever she eats or drinks she does it very fast and in large amounts. When I gave her water in small amounts she was able to keep it down and she also ate meatloaf which i limited to small portions. But she still won't touch kibble. :\ She is also resuming her normal behaviors which include growing protectively over her food around our other dogs, and becoming social and affectionate with people. Her trembling is almost all gone now but she seems to burp every so often...?
