| How did they come to the conclusion that it is hypo? Why didn't they keep him if he isn't coming out of it? These pups certainly know how to scare us.

| They did keep him for hrs but they said there was nothing they were doin that we couldnt do at hme so 600$ later we are here at this point. they took his blood sugar and it was 41 so very low he is better but im worried that he might not make a full recovery. |

| He should bounce right back from a hypo episode after being treated. Has he eaten anything? Karo syrup, etc. is a quick fix, but he'll crash again if he doesn't get a good carb meal. How old is he? |

He shouldn't be taking this long to come out of it. There may be something different/in addition going on.

| He had some problems before this like not eating .... we feed him by hand every hour, he is so tiny 1lb so we are hoping he is going to make a full recovery. The only thing my vet found wrong was a parasite but he started the meds before this episode happened. He looks better today but not by any means fully bounced back so im still a lil worried. |

He is probably not able to regulate his own blood sugar because of his size. | |

| well the breeder says 8weeks when we got him but our vet says younger she thinks 6 weeks, we have had him for two weeks so 10weeks or 8weeks ya he is a lil one. The hosp staff said they could have problems with regulating there own BS intill they are over 2lb so we are trying hard to get him there. |

That breeder should be ashamed of herself for selling that poor baby so young. Yorkie puppies should stay with their mothers until they are 12 weeks old. This is a good link with tips for hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia - A common condition in toy puppies | |
