Hypoglycemia

 

Hypoglycemia:

 

Hypoglycemia is a sudden drop in the level of blood sugar.

Glycemia (sugar) is the main source of energy for the body.

Teacups and Toys are prone to Hypoglycemia becouse of

their tiny size they have no reserve.

 

Symptons of Hypoglycemia: lethargic, weakness, confusion, shivering, vomiting or drooling, comatose/unresponsive

and seizures.

 

Hypoglycemia oftenn occurs without warning from many

different causes: stress, too hot, too cold, lack of food

or water, handled too much, too much activity.

 

To help prevent hypoglycemia make sure your puppy had

food and wter available at all times. Give tiny puppies a

little nutra col or dyne twice a day to help keep their sugar

levil up. Honey or karo syrup can also be used to help keep

sugar level up. Have nutra cal or dyne on hand for immediate response if puppy should have a sudden drop in sugar levels.
