I've read SO MUCH about puppy hypoglycemia. I think I'm driving my dog nuts. He has a nice pink tongue and his gums are pink with the exception of around his front baby teeth which looks to have a bit of brown tinge to them. I got him nutrical and when he seems to get particularly lethargic I give him a bit. He LOVES the stuff and would probably eat the whole bottle if I left it out, so administering it hasn't been an issue.
He still lays around all day and night and has no interest in playing. I'm at a complete loss. I got him a new food and he has no interest in eating it at all. He has started sleeping with me in my bed at night which has really improved his alertness. When I get up in the morning he licks my face and moves around to be as close to me as he can. He never wets the bed but waits for me to put him on his wee pad. He even wakes me up by being all fidgity when he really has to go.
I don't really think he has many signs of being a sick dog other than the sleeping nonstop. His ears are always straight up - never droopy. His eyes are not leaky. He walks around fine, just doesn't ever run.
I'm going to take him to the vet today to see what they think but I really feel as though she isn't going to tell me anything and its going to be a $100 visit for her to tell me to let him sleep. He's worth it, but if anyone else has had a similar issue and can give me some insight please do!!! |
