? 5/13 Copernicus, AMPS 672

Is he conscious and aware? Is he able to stand? I’m not sure what you mean by not being able to pick up his head …Is his head drooping to his chest?

If in doubt, I’d go to the ER.
 
I ask about head drooping because it can be a sign of low potassium. My Charlie had critically low potassium and had to be on an IV drip with supplemental potassium at an ER clinic to get him back into a safe zone. Hanging his head was a sign. (I want to be careful to note that I’m not diagnosing, just sharing our experience).
 
Hey All. We are at ER. He was laying in the floor on his side and he wouldn't sit up or lift his head or eat. He is conscious. There is no IM so they want to keep him overnight and transfer him to IM tomorrow. He did perk up from the adrenaline of riding in the car, so maybe just felt so bad and weak. I can't keep taking him to the ER. Also, when does it make him worse because they refused to accept his own food and they want to give him Rx food. They mentioned hydrolyzed and now I'm worried bc those are high in sugar. For the future, what do you all do for numbers that stay that high for that long and keep rising? Another option is maybe his primary vet could have done some fast acting insulin?

I’m glad he’s more alert. Been looking for your update and hoping he’s feeling better.
I wonder if @Wendy&Neko or @Bron and Sheba (GA) @Marje and Gracie
Have any thoughts

Sending you both many hugs and prayers Krista 🙏🙏🙏🫂🫂🫂
