7 week old puppy - hypoglycemia? dehydration? HELP! If you have any advice, please help!
We have a 7 week old little boy (the smallest of the litter). Weaned for about 4 days, all of a sudden today he was listless and weak. it was about 7:30 pm central time that I first noticed he was acting weird. I immediately assumed hypoglycemia (since he was fine about 3 hours earlier).
I warmed him up and gave him Nurtical and water through and eye dropper (which he licked, so I took that as a positive). he seemed to respond a little. Still, not much movement, but his eyes were focusing, etc. he threw up at about 9:15
At about 9:30 we gave him 15 mL of room temp Lactated Ringers sub Q...
He's responding a little, moving his head a little and taking a few steps occasionally.
I am letting him rest now, but what could it be? I'm sure I could spend hours looking on here for similar situations, but I don't know if I have that kind of time.
He's about 1 1/2 pounds.
Any recommended next steps for tonight? obviously, vet in the morning if he makes it that far. |
