Me, too!  I guess it's just a case of playing "watch and see".  I'm used to
his colics, because he does impact occasionally, but this whole
head-shaking-tongue-lolling-staggering thang really scared me.

To be safe, I'm going to start paying more attention to pulse and
respiration, as Frank suggested.

And find another vet ... quick!
