She is tiny and young, and will probably have more episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). With that age and weight, I wouldn't leave her unattended for long periods of time. Can your mother-in-law babysit her on a regular basis, or can you get a trusted neighbor to come in and check on her several times a day? Also, be sure that food and water is available at all times, and give a nugget of nutrical several times a day to keep the blood sugar up. I keep Karo Syrup on hand at home in case of hypoglycemia emergencies (rub a little on her gums), but if your puppy passes out from hypoglycemia, she will definitely have to be taken to the vet on an emergency basis. It will probably get better over time, but the next few weeks will be critical... |
