I am worried. My breeder called this morning and said that she found my puppy laying on his side last night. She said that she gave him Nutri Cal and warmed him up and he began acting normally and eating. She said that it was probably due to an earlier bought of diarrhea & the stress of having his vaccinations that

day. He is 9 weeks old and 1 and 1/2 lbs. Does having a hypoglycemic episode cause any long term damage? Could this be a sign of liver shunts? Any information would be appreciated.
