When a hypoglycemic attack occurs in a young puppy (around 7 weeks old, just beginning to wean from mom), could anything bad happen b/c of the attack? As far as I know, the puppy was just very weak & did not lose conciousness or have any seizures. She was taken to the vet for treatment promptly. The last word was that the puppy was walking around and showing signs of improvement. Could there be any lasting ill effects? Should I be concerned about this happening?
For the record, I do not have this puppy. She is still with her mommy & breeder.  |
Hi
I'm sorry that your future furkid had a hypo event. Most of the time, especially with quick vet treatment, there doesn't seem to be any lasting effects from this, though it may be a sign of other things going on, such as liver shunt. I'd ask the breeder if they plan on doing any bloodwork at the vets before you take custody of the puppy. I'm not real experienced in this, so hopefully the veterans here will come soon and help
Welcome
