Do you think that she fell off of your son's bed? She may have caused her
wobbliness and having difficulty keeping her head up. If you think she fell
and is having those symptoms, i would take her to the vet to be checked out.
At one time, the vet told me to give Dolly some Nutrical every time that she
started to shake because they thought she had low blood sugar. After a couple
of days, I was having a difficult time waking her up and I think it was because
she really didn't have low blood sugar and it was putting her into the 'too
much sugar' sleepiness.
