Hi, I just read in your other post about your new baby, congrats! There is nothing so sweet as puppy breath! You said he was 10 weeks which is a little too young to be away from his Mom just yet, or so I have read and learned. I got Presley when he was 13 weeks and I'm glad he wasn't younger. I had him almost a week and his blood sugar dropped, he went lethargic and definitely not his playful silly self. This happened VERY quickly! Minutes and not hours or days, we ended up at the vet for emergency visit, luckily I had read about this and I was pretty sure this is what was going on. I grabbed the Karo syrup out of pantry on the way out to the vet and gave it to Presley in route. It didn't help, he had to be put on IVs when we got there because his sugar had dropped so low. Even though I was aware this happens and thought this was happening it is very scary! I honestly thought I was going to lose my baby, I was a crying mess at the vet. After a few hours we were able to come home and our doctor gave us Nutri-Cal, this stuff is awesome! It helps keep their sugar up after playing hard or as the vet said 'when a panicking Mom thinks he hasn't eat enough'. This episode scared me really bad and it was a long while before Presley was out of my sight for more than 5 minutes. Where I went - Presley went and so did the nutri-cal. I'm not trying to scare you, just sharing what happened to me and my baby, my suggestion would be to get some from your vet and give it to him a few times a day or how your vet suggest. We didn't have another episode THANK GOD! Presley is now almost a year old wild child! Congrats again on your beautiful baby, it's an exciting time no doubt! |
