Hypoglycemia or Low Blood Sugar can be
caused by stress, improper diet or a missed
meal, being chilled, or too much energy being
used during the day playing too long at one
time.{10 MINUTES TOPS!} Puppies that
usually are affected are the toy breeds at six
weeks to 12 weeks old. The liver stores
energy, but in a small puppy it can not store
enough for long periods, especially with
additional stress factors. Signs of this can be
as slight as a depressed attitude or as serious
to finding your puppy in a coma. Treatment
can be as simple as giving a small amount of
Karo Syrup for a mild case to a Dextrose
Solution intravenously by your Veterinarian. If
you suspect this condition, consult your
Veterinarian for even a mild case.
