Took her in.. did an xray (ok), bloodwork- high white blood cell count, that's all, rest normal. He thought she might be havin an allergic reaction or somethin, gave her antihistimine and a steroid, didn't make any diff. She's very lethargic still, walking stiff legged, head down. She'll still wag her tail n all..
They kept her overnight..to do fluids and figure out whats up. She hasn't urinated since at least 6:30. I just called (it's 1:30am) and he said she seemed to be doin better for a while, then slipped downhill and had a seizure. She came out of it and is back to how she was when I brought her in, responsive but lethargic.
I need to get some sleep but I don't think that will happen.. I'm too worried about my lil girl. I'll keep you updated.. if anyone has any ideas, let me know.
Also-might the vomit from earlier be of any help?

Well it's 24 hours after this incident. She's got color in her gums, and she's very responsive. She's still got a sorta low temp, 100.7, but it's better than the 93 she was last night. She's keeping water down. No appetite yet, but I don't expect it right now since she doesn't have any energy.
He put her on 2.5mp of enalapril, every 12 hours. Not sure if that's what's doin the trick n making her come around, or what.. time will tell.

It could be a lot of things.
You're right to take her in.

pale gums and cold skin IS a scary sign. Hope your parents get her to a hospital tonight. It actually sounds more like a heart problem than pet food recall, tho it is still a possibility. She may have eaten some poison too. Do you have any mouse bait or recently cleaned the bathroom and she licked it? has she been acting sick or less active lately? Please let us know how she does!
I hope your little girl does well!!

That is how my dog was when he ate the bad food from the pet recalls. Also new ones keep showing up, take your dog to a vet NOW!, Mine is okay becuase I got him their early, thats the best thing to do either way, all they neede was a blood test, Please go to the VET!

With those symptoms I would get her to the vets and have her evaluated. Those are not real bad symptoms and you did not mention diarrhea and that is good. The pinch test being normal means she is well hydrated.

You need to get her to the clinic. there is no doubt. Lite colored gums means she is not getting enough oxygen into her system. She needs the help of your vet.

Call your parents to get home so they can get your dog to a vet asap.

Has the vet ruled out pancreatitis? http://www.sniksnak.com/doghealth/pancreatitis.html
