Default VERY UPSET about coworker's daughter's maltipoo...HELP

A coworker just came up and started looking up stuff about puppy's normal temperatures. Having worked for a vet i offered that it's usually 101-102 or so if it goes over 103 it's not good. I asked what's up. She finally mentioned after i notice her search trembling and shaking in google that the pup was not fed all day long since they ran out of food and that it's shaking and inactive. i told her it's prob. hypoglycemia and that first i'd get some syrup, karo if yuo have it or maple if you only have that and put an inch on a finger and let it lick it off. then i promptly would rush to the vet because this stuff can take em' down fast and they can die from it. she told her daughter all i'd said and mentioned wetting the food to try to get it to eat something and possibly syringing water to it. i told her if the gums are white it really should be going to the vet and hurry. hope they listen but she keeps wanting to try things first....i'm so upset right now. why do these people keep getting dogs that they can't feed or care for
