My 5yr old teacup chihuahua collapsed about a week ago and was lethargic for 2-3 days. She refused to eat or drink or even get up to go to the bathroom. I took her to our vet and he gave her a physical, drew blood, gave her a fluid treatment because of dehydration, and a steroid and antibiotic shot. He said he wasn't sure what could be her problem and to wait on the blood tests. The blood tests came back normal. She showed improvement over the next 2 days (walking, eating,drinking) but then on wed. I came home to find her walking in circles with her head twisted to the right and down. She wouldnt turn it the other way and kept screaming every few minutes. Again she had difficulty eating and drinking. I took her to the vet again and demanded some kind of diagnosis since my baby was hurting so much. All three of the vets at our animal clinic conferred on her case and still can't determine exactly what might be wrong. Either meningitis, ruptured disc, or Dens are their guesses right now.
