What is Hypoglycemia?
Basically its Low Blood Sugar.
It is very important to prevent symptoms before they start by keeping food and water
available 24 hours a day until your puppy matures to 6 months of age or at least 2.5 lbs in
weight.
Be sure your puppy knows where the food is at all times. Limit playtime to an hour at a
time during the first 2 weeks at home and allow for plenty of time for rest.
I have created a list of items you might want to keep at arms length if you adopt a tiny toy
or especially a t-cup puppy. You want to be prepared just in case your baby shows
symptoms of having hypoglycemia.
Karo Syrup- add a few drops of this to your babys water for the first few weeks as a
protection to keep blood sugar at a normal level. (this can cause loose stools)
Nutri-Cal - Give to your baby after he/she is done eating.
Yogurt mixed in with food at least once a day.
Pet Nutri-Drops- This works very fast in getting into the bloodstream.
Low levels of sugar can cause your baby to have a "Sugar Attack" this can be brought on
by stress with such things as weaning or relocating. This condition is not life threatening
unless left untreated.
Symptoms Include:
Lifelessness
Pale or white gums
Failure to eat or loss of appetite
If this is left untreated you will see symptoms such as:
Inability to hold down food or Diarrhea
Dehydrating
Seizures
All of these can lead to death if it goes untreated.
