My Yorkie fell over

Question:
 I was standing in the kitchen this evening and my little yorkie started wobbling and just fell over on her side like she passed out. I ran over to her and got her up and gave her some water and now she seems perfectly fine. Any one have Any idea what might have caused this? I am going to try to get her into the vet tomorrow. This happened one time before about two months ago and I thought I was just imagining things because she seemed perfectly fine after it happened. This time I know it is not me because my husband saw it too. Any input would be helpful. Thank you very much.

Answer:
 sounds like hypoglycemia...do you have any nutrical? (follow directions on box) if not use a little karo...just put some on your finger and let her lick it off...I would DEFINATELY call you vet tomorrow..you REALLY don't want you puppy to get hypoglycemic...some puppies need to stay at the vets and get IV fluids...was she playing before this happened? is she eating good...Let me know how she is doing...
Good Luck!

Answer:
 hmmm.....I am not sure at all. But I am sure someone else will be able to give you some info. You should definitely get her into the vet tomorrow just to get checked out.

Answer:
 How old is your baby? How much does she weigh?

Answer:
 I am going to take her to the vet first thing tomorrow although she seems fine now. It may be hypoglycemia I have read about that before. She is 8 mths and weighs right around 5lbs. I will keep you informed.

Answer:
 Hmmmmm, seems if it was hypoglyciemia she wouldn't bounce back quite that quicky after you just getting her up and giving her some water.
Do animals faint?

 Here's a link to read, definitely sounds like it should be investigated - let's us know what the vet says.

I will keep you informed. While you are going to the Vet anyway, take a stool sample and have it checked for parasites. Have stools been normal? Might also want to check for bacteria infections in the Intestine.

 Everyone should be really careful with these passing out episodes.
Id like to share what happened to my sisters puppy just two weeks ago...
My sister had a barely 1 yr old chiuaua male. She had come home from work about 1am or so and was letting her two dogs out for their pee break. She called in the two dogs and only one of them came near the door. When she went outside to check on the other she said he was wobbling and then just passed out and dropped to the ground. She picked him up and tried to revive him (dont know exactly how) but she got him to wake up. She rushed him to the 24 hour emergency vet where they found him to have some pennies in his stomach along with a rather large piece of what they thought to be metal of some sort. Turns out that he had vomitted the day before and my sister found around 5 pennies in the vomit. The vet also told her that his blood cell count was extremely low and that they didnt think he was going to make it. They recommended surgery asap but couldnt guarantee that he would survive even after it. He would have also needed blood and other things. So they gave her the option to go with the surgery, take him home and let him go on his own, or put him to sleep right there and then. My sister was heartbroken and couldnt stand the thought of having him home sufferring nor going through a surgery and other things and still not make it. As hard as the decision was for her she opted for him to get put to sleep. She held him in her arms while they gave him the injection/iv and he then closed his eyes and was gone.
The diagnosis was that he was dying of lead poisioning and also some other chemical or substance that the pennies and that piece of steel or whatever the foreign object was. When I saw the Xray the foreign object was about the size of a medium egg and oval in shape.
It was so sad how this happened all of a sudden and you wouldnt expect something like this to happen. This dog was a terrific dog and was a favorite with all of our children as he was so kind and loving esp with my baby. We will really miss Milo. May Milo rest in peace and not suffer anymore.
This has me so paranoid with my new puppy that I dont allow her to eat or play with anything off the floor unless its one of her toys. I sweep often as I also have a 1 yr old that spills and drops everything on the floor.
You just never know these days and better to be safe than sorry.
Is.

Is. I'm about to cry just reading that. Poor Milo. Just the thought of having your baby in your arms while he wonders off to the rainbow bridge :(
For the OP, I have no idea what could be wrong, maybe she's just tired? I hope everything's OK. Keep us posted!

Answer:
 Thanks for the warning about money - I didn't know it could be so dangerous. I would never leave pills lying on the floor, but almost every night when I throw my jeans on the bed the coins end up on the floor and I use to let them lie there for a while before picking them up!

Answer:
