The vet isn't open for 3 more hours and I need to know what I can do for him now. Sebastian (bottle baby) is 7-8 weeks old now. He's been extremely slow gaining weight since I've had him. Maybe a .1-.2 ounce gain per day. Vet just said he's a slow grower... he was healthy otherwise so vet said it wasn't a cause for concern yet.
Last night Sebastian ate before bed and I put him in his large dog crate with his basket and litter box. I woke up this morning and he was struggling to stand, he'd just fall back over. I picked him up and he was pretty cold. He's very alert, just staring at me and purring loudly. He kept trying to stand up but I was afraid he'd hurt himself, so now he's wrapped in a blanket in my arms. I made him some formula but he wouldn't open his mouth for it, although he acted like he wanted the can food but couldn't figure out how to get it. I poked some of the "gravy" through his lips and he enjoyed it but didn't want much.
Any ideas what could be wrong? He was perfectly fine last night.
