Thank you for submitting your question regarding Little Girl. If she is truly unresponsive, I recommend apply some Karo syrup, maple syrup or honey to her gums. Then you need to seek immediate veterinary care. She may be experiencing low blood sugar, suffered a seizure or could have fainted. Good luck!
