I don't think Bailey has any problems, but it's good to know. |
You neevr want a puppy to go into a full attack.... It's very scary.... They will start siezing and getting sick all over themselves. That is when nutra-cal or karon syrup come in real handy. When a puppy actually goes into an attack then they need to be taken to the vet to be put on ivs.....The karo syrup will just get their blood sugar back high and keep them going until you get them to the vet. You can also give the nutra-cal aor karo syrup through different times of the day. Just very small amounts though. You don't want your blood sugar racing at one minute and then when the syrup run off then your right back down... The best thing for hypoglycemia pups is baby food around the clock until the are strong enough to not need it.
