The NutraDrops has loads of vitamins....when we used to go on long car trips and I had a dog that got car sick, they did just fine getting nothing to eat but those NutriDrops the length of the trip! Most of time following an episode of hypoglycemia, they are sick at their tummies and do not feel like eating a meal! Dr.Millers covers that....provides more than a temp. spike in blood sugar.....they love the taste of the stuff, and I would give a dose of 1cc every 4 hours, with a dose right at bedtime, as late as possible, to get her thru the night safely.....karo wont do that, especially if she will not eat before going to bed.

Now that you have an issue with hypoglycemia, you will have to be sure your baby has food available at all times...free feed to keep this from possibly happening again. Monitor how much she is eating, very closely....they usually grow out of this, unless there is a problem....a puppy's tummy is not large enough to hold enough food to keep enough calories on board to keep that baby going at full steam, which is why it is always best to free feed babies. Supplement her diet with the Dr.Millers, and she will be covered with enough glucose to prevent hypoglycemia from reoccurring.

Keep us posted on how she is doing....drops in sugar to the point where they get symptomatic, is frightening.....you were on the spot with getting her help.....great! She will have to be watched closely....

Hello and thank you Layla is 13 weeks today but she is only 1.3lbs I will definitely be looking for dr. Miller's and have that on hand i-free feed Layla she can eat whenever she wants!!
