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...

This would be my suggestion.
