Just to be safe, I'd purchase a tube of Nutri-Cal from petsmart or petco about $7-8.99 and keep it on hand. Give him about 3 fingertips of this once in the a.m and once in the evening or after a trip or visitors just to ensure his glucose levels stay normal and he doesn't have an episode of hypoglycemia. Shaking is one of the symptoms of this and I would hate for you to go unknowing.. it usually occurs in these situations
Stress i.e Visitors, New Home, Change of Environment
When the pup gets Chilled or too cold
When he goes without eating for too long
After a session of too much play (he should only be allowed to be stimulated for 20-30 minutes and let to rest when he is ready )
From being overtired
If caught early enough he just needs Nutri-Cal or Caro Syrup and the symptoms can be reversed.
Signs of Hypoglycemia to watch for
Lethargic
Not wanting to play or not being his normal self
being overly hungry
Shaking
There may be more you might want to google it as this is what I can remember...
Good luck with him! I am sure you are very excited! |
