I don't know why we are having such a hard time with low blood sugar. Once the puppies reach 12 weeks they seem to out grow the episodes.

What we have been doing is: when we first find the puppy, get some karo syrup or Dine in him. Keep the puppy in motion to keep circulation of blood and respiration going. If the puppy is not more alert in about 15 minutes, we give another dose of karo or Dine. If the puppy is not having any problem swallowing, we mix the karo or Dine with pedialyte and feed that to him with a syringe. When the puppy is alert enough to eat, we feed him baby food chicken or if he won't eat that, we offer braunswagger. Usually within a few hours the puppy has responded and is fine. Once a puppy has had low blood sugar we keep a close eye on him to catch any further episodes at it's earliest stage.

I don't know if I don't hear about other puppies going down because the breeders don't talk about it or if for some reason their puppies don't go down as often as mine do.

I would like to have some recipes or foods that people use for when their puppies or dogs go down with low blood sugar. Please share. Sylvia
