All three of our guys were matted and had to be shaved down (yesterday). Mariner wasn't himself all day, he was lethargic, not eating well, shivering, not drinking and sleeping most of the day. We called our vet (at home) about an hour ago. He thinks that Mariner is a little shocky and his blood sugar may be low. It also is not helping that it got cool out. He said to keep him warm and to give him a little ice cream to bring his sugar up. Also to repeat the ice cream later - just a small amount so not to give him a jolt. He also said to call him anytime tonight if Mariner gets worse. And if he is not better to bring him in at 8:30 am. His shivering seems to have abated somewhat but I just stopped him from chomping on his dew claw.
Oh wow, I hope he is ok, please let us know. Is this the first time that Mariner has been shaved?...Could he be freaked out without his fur?...Hoping he is just fine very soon....I think u have a very special vet telling u to call him at home,,,,
How is Mariner today? I've been thinking about him since I saw this last night. I'm really hoping that he's back to normal today. I would never have even guess this could happen from grooming.
