Hey everyone,

So my girl Luna had her first litter just about seven weeks ago giving birth to four excitable little pups Shadow, Neeko, Koda, and Akaida. Recently shadow has been pawing at his mouth, whimpering, and rolling around. It looked initially like a seizure but with research it didn't look like a full blown seizure. He was taken to the vet today to get a full blood work up and they also said it could be either a chemical he ingested or something lodged in his throat. I was just wondering if anybody else had any ideas or similar experiences. I have a video that I can try to post a little later to give you a better idea.

-Thanks so much-

My first thought was a sting, because that's exactly how Luci acted when she decided to try to catch a wasp last week. Is the breeder you got your girl or another experienced, reputable breeder from mentoring you? Perhaps you can ask him or her?

Well the pups have yet to be outside as of yet so I'm not sure about a sting but some kind of oral irritation seems to fit. After the blood work was done he showed a high white blood cell count indicating some kind of infection. The vet believed that it could be a neurological issue but that doesn't seem to fit his conditions. Another vet we consulted said some kind of viral infection so that's the most likely choice. All we're waiting for now is that vet to come make his house call and hopefully we can start treating him and he'll be better soon.

Sorry to hear about the little guy hope you can find out what's wrong.
