 lil bit of brown sugar
Hi,
I am so happy you are aware of the dangers of hypoglycemia....I wish I had been made aware of the threat when I brought my 4 month old 1.5 pup home. I learned the hard way...she is fine but I almost lost her! Anyway, I have made it a priority to learn all I can about it. I put just a bit of brown sugar in her drinking water....not enough to make it sweet. Also there is a formula that I copied from one of the members here that sounds wonderful....
1/2 cup half and half
1/2 cup baby rice cereal
1 jar meat baby food, anything but turkey
1 tsp. karo or pancake syrup
Mix together and add a little water if it's too thick for the syringe. Give approximately 2-4 cc's every hour (depending on size), then when the pup is doing better, you can increase the amount and decrease the frequency. After a day or two of this, as long as they are eating this on their own, gradually add softened kibble or canned food and slowly decrease the baby mixture until they are eating the food. Should take a week or so to do the change, to avoid upsetting their tummy |
