Lady is an insulin dependant diabetic so I am all too familiar with hypoglycemia!
These are the signs in order of seriousness:
lethargy (lack of energy)
weakness
head tilting
"drunkedness" - wobbling when walking, unbalanced
hunger
restlessness
shivering
ataxia - usually lack of muscular coordination, but maybe changes in head and neck movements
disorientation
stupor
convulsions or seizures
coma
Karo Syrup is good, but any sugar source will do - honey, pancake syrup, jelly, etc. anything high in sugar. Remember, though, this is just a quick "sugar fix" and he'll need real food as soon as possible. |
