Some suggestions that have been given are rubbing Karo syrup or honey on their gums if they seem to lethargic. Always check the gums to see if they are pink. You can also buy a product called Nutri-cal. There are others on this forum that will be able to give you more advice. Just thought I would mention this problem because there have been so many little babies that have gone through some tough times because of hypoglycemia. Good luck with your new furbaby!
I heard that honey can be dangerous for puppies, it might be better to stick to Karo syrup or Nutri-Cal.
