Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would be very worried Everest isn’t walking. He may have a low sugar level due to his size. You can rub some Karo syrup or pancake syrup on his gums and see if that helps. If it doesn’t, I would take him to an emergency vet right away for medical attention. Good luck and kisses to Everest!
