Gus collapsed
by Lee w Wed Oct 08 2014, 17:04
Early Sunday morning about 02.30 Gus woke me to be let out for toilet ,he does this if he does not feel to well,
I thought I noticed him limping a bit on the way out .he had pretty bad runs and then when he got back in he was limping and shaking , he collapsed onto the floor and couldn't get back up so I took him to the emergency vet who said it could be the start of epilepsy ,she gave him 2 injections and sent us home and told me to see how he goes , I wasent happy as he was still the same.
I was back at the vet within 2 hours seen a different vet , thay did blood tests kept him in and on a drip for fluids ,thay phoned me at 7 .00 that evening to go and pick him up he was back to normal , the vet told me he had probably eaten something he shouldnt have and got poisoned , we thought we had lost Gus that night , we still don't know what he ate ,
