What are the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia?
“A dog with low blood sugar may appear disoriented or weak, may stagger, and perhaps appear blind. Its muscles may twitch. Later stages lead to convulsions, coma, and death.” (Chihuahuas, Barrons 2003) What is the treatment for Hypoglycemia? Feed your puppy immediately, or in more advanced cases, honey or Karo syrup with warm water. In the event the dog is unable to eat, rub the syrup over the gums, it will absorb through the oral mucosa. Follow with a high- protein meal. Take the dog to the veterinarian!
