Joey never had hypoglycemia. In fact, his breeder told me none of her dogs experienced this. I think if they are going to get it, it's usually when they are puppies because they need so many calories and their tummies are just so small. That's why many breeders recommend free feeding yorkies, until they are at least 6-8 months. Food should be available at all times. An active puppy can use all it's calorie reserves very quickly, so it's important to be aware of the signs, wobbly or weak, lethargic and/or white gums. You can rub light Karo syrup on their gums to correct this or use Nutri-cal . I would guess that the smaller puppies are more prone to this. |
