Hollee is almost 12wks now. She seems to have stabilized as far as sugar drops go & has good eating days and bad. This afternoon she came looking for food every two hrs. And ate so well every time even dry kibble. But then this evening she went on such a' high' shooting all over the place and you can't stop her or get her to calm down. She literally wants to jump out of my arms wriggling and growling until she is put down and then off she goes at top speed. After a while she crashes and is now fast asleep besides me. When she is like this I have previously seen the sugar low. So I hope she is going to be ok tonight. Ax |
My baby was a very picky eater as a puppy. My vet of course was concerned right away about liver shunt. She did not eat well and was much smaller than her sister of the same litter. It is common for a puppy with liver shunt to lose their appetite after they have eaten a little. The digestive process makes them feel sick. I hope you just have a picky eater and not something more serious. The fact that she does not gain weight is an issue though. I believe there is a blood test they can do to start investigating the liver.
