I agree with the rest. I believe the breeder you acquired Tink from claimed she was a "teacup" Pomeranian, no? If so, get on this breeder's butt like a flea yourself! If Tink's condition is hereditary, you need to stop this vicious cycle of backyard breeding and close that horrible breeder down. I'm so sorry you have to go through this, but, unfortunately, many of us have felt the after effects of BYB-ing as well. We'll always be here for support.

Rememeber, next time you see the vet, ask if the condition is hereditary or could have somehow been affected through the breeder's actions (many BYBs have been shut down simply due to selling extremely young puppies who are not physically mature enough to survive on their own). Also, how old is Tink? I'm assuming she's around 9 weeks old since you're bringing her in for her shots at 12 weeks. In my and nearly all other reputable Toy dog breeders, no Toy puppy should leave their littermates until 10-14 weeks. This could help with your case against the breeder. Good Luck with Tink and, hopefully, shutting down the breeder!

just a thought...

Tink's blood sugar could be dropping so low because there could be too long of a time period between her meals. I have heard this is a common problem in the very small toy breed puppies.
Perhaps try serving her several small meals a day, or leaving food out all the time until she gets a bit bigger.

She was foaming at the mouth and lifeless...her heart was BARELY beating

The same thing happened twice to Tito. The first time I thought he had been poisoned by eating something when we were out. The second time it just happened out of the blue, he hadn't been outside prior. The vet thought it might be epilepsy, but since then we have had no problems. To this day we still don't now what triggered the convulsions. Scary stuff. I hope Tink gets throught it all ok.

She has food out all day, she has been eating 4-6 times a day, but yesterday for some reason she didnt eat...but they have to figure out WHY it keeps dropping...
