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.
