medical stores I know have Glucagon tubes where you can squeeze some on your finger and rub it around on the pups cheeks and it will help bring there blood sugar up.. now I'm a Nurse and I have used this for ppl .. never used on a pup so not sure how much you would use but it has measurements for kg or lbs. and dextose in saline soppose to be giving IV not SubQ

haha I read your post wrong lol .. I thought you wanted the dextose bc of low Blood sugar.. nm hehe.. but still It can't so go SubQ.. only IV
