    Default Baby was fine and now dying?? Pls help

    Hi,

    We've had this guy 2 days. We've been told anywhere from 8 weeks to 3 months old. By day one he was frisky and eating and peeing. Not pooping much. Did puppy formula. Then he ate a bunch of food, broccolli, kale, grapes, apples, He went from active to back legs paralyzed to now nothing but breathing and some random movements in about 30 minutes. Arches his back.

    He seems rapidly on his way out. Can't seem to swallow. Can I do anything??

    So sad.

    Did he aspirate on his formula, choke, come out his nose etc.?
    Arching back suggests he's seizing, rub some molasses or other sweeten syrup on his gums to bring up sugar levels.
    Calcium levels also a suspect could be low, increasing calcium levels may or may not help at this point but worth the
    try if he's hanging in there. You will need tums.
