i forgot to mention, he has normal gums, and he just sits on the ground and wont walk unless i say go potty a couple times. I dont know if he is just tired or sick, this is scaring me.
HELP
Im worried something is very wrong with Obi. I need fast responces. Obi is extremely exhausted, he is lying limply, and when i yell his name he jolts or shivers. He doesn't seem like himself and he seems very out of it. Do you think he could have eaten something. What would his symtoms be? The problem is my vet is closed and I am home alone im 16 and cant drive and i need to know if this is something i need to get him the the emergency room for. Please reply fast.

Yes, get him to the emergency ASAP. Is he responsive at all aside from the jolting?

he is kind of responsive he will open his eyes when i say his name but seems kind of oblivious to much, he keeps twitching and he seems kind of stiff, when hes being picked up.

yes he can walk when i say go potty a couple times but he doesn't want to, and i dont know how big his pupils are supposed to be, its hard to see them and my emergency vet is over an hour away but there are other vet offices that i never went to 20 minutes away and im checking to see if they are open.

I would definately get him to a vet or at least just call them and see what they recomend. Does your regular vet have an emergency number? Usually they'll leave it on their answering machine. How long has he been this way? You're doing a great job staying calm and that's so important.

Good idea. I hope all goes well for you. My thoughts are with you. Please keep us updated.
im taking his temperature as soon as i find the thermometer, the vet said that will decide if he has to come in or not and it will be really expensive if he does because its a sunday.

Do you have transportation to the vet's office? Since you can't drive, can you get a neighbor to help you or call a friend whose parents can drive you ???? If this happened to either K or C I would definitely go to the vet's right away.
I hope everything will be OK.
He could have been in shock if he hasn't been eating. From all those symptoms, it sounds like he does need to go into the vet. Does he have normal bowel movements? Sometimes when they are constipated, they could act very very strange too.
I will be praying for Obi .. let us know how everything goes. Call your parents and let them know that they should come home.

I just got back from the vet. Before we left his temperture was 98 and then the vet recorded it as 96.6 she did blood tests and a urine test and she said it has something to do with his back. I have no idea why his back would hurt him. He is on pain medication because he is having trouble walking and he just looks like hes in so much pain it hurts me to see him like this. The only abnormal thing about the tests was his urine test, she said he had a little bit of blood in his urine, but it could have been there before (WHAT? THERE BEFORE? WHY DIDN"T SHE WASH IT?) so she looked for mucus. He's on his bed shaking a little and trying to sleep. He wont eat anything. i cooked him eggs but he wouldn't eat that i tried cheese but nothing. I dont think the vet did enough and i have a feeling its not his back because he would jump when i touched his stomach and she knew that. If he is not better tomorrow im taking him to the vet again, because they are open near us tomorrow. I just looked at him and he tried to play with his bambi toy but he couldn't drag it. I hope hes better in the morning....
Oh my gosh, how scary!!! Can he not walk at all? Has he injured his back, is that what the vet said? I am sorry that this is happening to him!!!
