The typical thing to do with a hypoglycemic episode is to get the pup's blood sugar up using Nutri-Cal or Karo. This would be followed by feeding some protein very soon after. Usually, a pup will come around fairly quickly with this treatment, though may be a bit weak for a day or so following. I'm surprised that the pup has not been made to eat and that the blood sugar is still low. Something doesn't sound right with this. It is imperative to get the blood sugar up and for the pup to eat. I don't see how the pup could be 'better' without doing these things. If it is hypo and they don't get the sugar up and feed that baby, they could easily lose her.
