What you are describing sounds like a medical emergency. I would recommend taking Pinky to a veterinarian immediately. Young small dogs can have problems with their liver or blood sugar that can cause seizures. They will continue to get worse without immediately medical attention. I am attaching a link to a handout below that describes low blood sugar in small puppies. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2085 As recommended in the handout, you can apply Karo syrup or maple syrup to her gums, then take her to a vet immediately. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Pinky recovers quickly. Thanks for using PetCoach.
