It is the little ones that have the most trouble with hypoglycemia usually. Karo is good for when you need to get the glucose level up fast but the NutraCal is good because it has the glucose and added nutrients to help the puppy through a tough time. The parasite he had makes a puppy's tummy feel so bad they do not want to eat. Until he gets his appetite back he is going to need some help. Usually using the syringe is kind of natural for them to eat out of because they can lap a little at a time but since he is still not well enough to want to eat it is difficult.
I did not want to make you feel bad but you have to understand that when someone comes on here and asks for help and says they think the pup is going to die it stresses everyone here out. More information gives people more of an ability to understand what you are dealing with so they can help you. Without the info we have no real idea how to help you.
There was a new person here a few months ago whose puppy was going through the same thing. It had the same parasite and everything. It did pull through but it took a few weeks to get him to where he needed to be. Hopefully yours will start making some good progress soon. |
