I agree with Villette-that sounded more like a hypoglycemic episode. NUTRICAL is wonderful and you need to have it on hand all the time. You get it at any petstore near the vitamins and such. It comes in a tube with a flip cap, kind of like toothpaste. Just squeeze it out and let the puppy lick it off the cap. A few licks will do it. Mine love the stuff. You may have to put it on her tongue with your finger at first. It will also loosen the poops a bit too because it has an oil (lipid) base so that the sugar can be utilized in the blood stream faster. If you are in a pinch without any Nutrical, Karo syrup (put it on her tongue with your finger) or even maple syrup-something that is liquid sugar is what she needs in a hurry. Read all you can about hypoglycemia in dogs so you know what to look for and can act fast. It could save her life......there! Did I sound like a Public Service Announcement??
It's the nurse in me coming out...LOL |
