| worried about my puppy Hi I have a yorkie about 5 months old for the past week she has been weak looking. She does not run around and play like a energetic puppy. She acted like a old tired dog. I gave her some of the Nutri-Cal that my breeder supplied. Last night my husband said she was drooling and walking into things. She seem to be eating and pooping fine. Does this sound like the low blood sugar thing. Help Very worried Shannon |

| That sounds like hypoglycemia! I have to give Ludo 1 CC of dextrose every morning and night to make sure his blood sugar stays okay. I think you can also give them corn syrup. I would check with your vet! But most smaller dogs do get the low blood sugar!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | poor baby - all puppies should be so full of spunk that you almost want them to slow down not perk up ....it sounds like she really needs a vet to look at her and maybe run basic bloodwork..... unless she does perk up from the Nutrical - then maybe that is all it is..... I don't want to be an alarmist but if it were me - I'd have the vet check her out - walking into things is not normal puppy behaviour......and GOOD LUCK !! |

| Not to alarm you, but I agree with Villette, and I think you should take the pup to a vet. We had a Golden Retriever that started doing that, drooling and running into things. It turned out very bad for her, hopefully it won't for you. |

| She has a liver shunt. I am getting an ultrasound today to find out if it is on the inside of the liver or outside. If it is on the outside she will need surgery Last edited by faith99; 02-20-2007 at 04:21 AM. |

| I am sorry to hear about your baby's liver shunt. But on the other hand, I am thankful that you got her to the vet and found the problem in time to do something about it. I pray it is treatable and your little girl recovers quickly!

| Prayers are with you. Have you notified your puppy's breeder? Do you have a contract for genetic defects? Your puppy's sire and dam should not be bred again. Did your puppy have litter mates? The possibility exists that the litter mates may have the same problem.
