She is now a little over 1...and she weighs 2 pounds, 10 ounces When she was younger, I would check her gums in the morning and at night to see if they were light in color...usually when they are really pale red or a gray almost that is a sign their sugar is low.

Your dog should outgrow this, just keep the nutrical on hand...best of luck
I hear that..when we took T.O. his blood sugar was under an 8! It is so scary..they tried to put him down...I was like OMG, keep giving him dextrose and iv's and stuff and they did and I took him home the same night that they tried to put him down...crazy rollercoaster of a night!
