What is this hypoglycemia I keep reading about??
It's a low blood sugar level, dog can go uncountious and die. It's common with people who suffer from diabetes as well. The first aid is to give some sweet liquid or food to prevent falling to coma. Puppies can be especially prone as they eat very little and are still developing. Best is to feed 4 times a day until they are about 6 months old then you can switch to two times or one time a day once fully grown. I feed once a day, now that Tara is 9 months old with ocassional treat. So she is doing pretty well foodwise. |
