When I got Missy, I didn't know any better. Missy's vet also said that she could go to her new home at 7 weeks of age. I picked her up when she was 7 weeks and 3 days old. We battled hypoglycemic episodes for the first 2.5 weeks that she was home. At times, I thought that I might lose her. I had to give her Nutrical 3 times a day as a preventative measure because her blood sugar levels were constantly dropping on me. It is SO important to make sure that food is always available when you have a toy breed puppy and that they are eating regularly. Hopefully you will be able to keep an eye on your puppy every moment of the day and night. Once they become hypoglycemic, things can go downhill quite quickly. I'm not trying to scare you, only trying to make you aware of what to watch out for. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and you don't have any troubles. Please share lots of pics once your new little one is home. |
