I may have never had a dog before but I read up a lot before I got Joey. This wasn't as simple as a hypoglycemic attack. Joey either has some type of congenital defect or a liver shunt according to my vet.
The breeder didnt give him to me early because I pleaded with her to. She honestly felt he was ready to go home and since he was over 8 weeks ( the law in my state) I assumed he was ready. Joey was given so much glucose between me and my vet we joked he might get diabetes. Unfortunately giving Joey a gallon of nutrical a day wouldn't have made a world of difference. Something is wrong with him. It's not as simple as hypoglycemia.
Thank you for your input either way. |
I'm praying that Joey continues to improve and that you young lady get some rest! What a traumatic week you have had, I can relate as one day after getting Mini I was told she needed to be euthanized, thank God the vets were wrong and that my husband had the where with all to say "I'm taking my poopie little girl home"!!!
Try to focus on the positive right now, the improvement. You've done a great job taking care of this little guy, I think we all know this, and I know you will continue to keep his best interests first.
Many of us know how heart wrenching this is for you right now, just know you are not alone and that no matter what you are doing everything you can.
