New Puppy Info:
 

I am getting a new Yorkie puppy in a month & I was wondering about the Hypoglycemia in them, any adivice? I would really appreciate any help that you can give me!! Thanks again!!

None of my yorkies ever had hypoglycemia, and my oldest one I bought right before she was 7 weeks..Just make sure you have karo syrup on hand(I think the nutrical is too expensive, and karo works just as well)..Not all puppies get hypoglycemia..just make sure he/she is eating, drinking, and don't play for too long at a time while they're still young..If they get lethargic, not eating, etc. then just a little bit on your finger..

Good advice.

Also, most any question you may have can usually be answered if you use the search button at the top...just type the keyword in the box. Congrats on your new puppy...boy or girl? Can't wait to see pics. WELCOME TO YORKIE TALK! Nice to see another fellow Texan on here.:D

:congrats: :welcome4:

How old and how much the puppy weigh and how healthy a puppy is to begin with play a big part in Hypoglycemia. It usually will effects puppies newborn to a few weeks old, but can happen at any age if they go to long without food or get stressed out. Nutri cal is a great thing to have on hand just in case you do need at at some point. We went out and bought it just to have in case we did need it. When Jeter got sick last month, his vet had us give him some when he was sick with Coccidia, just to be on the safe side because he lost his appetite and ended up losing weight. He did not have any episodes, it was a precaution measure that was taken while he was sick.

Your breeder that you are getting your puppy from should touch on the subject when you get your puppy.You could ask her about it too. Mine had a care pack that had written information on Hypoglycemia and how to treat it if needed. She went over each page of information with me before we left with Jeter. Also if you know the vet you will be taking the puppy to before you get him/her then you could ask your vet your questions on your puppy's health concerns. I was so nerves while waiting for Jeter to get to come home and reading all the things that could go wrong with a toy breed, finding YT sure helped me learn a lot before he got home!

Needs Vary
 

As you can see from the posts, your furbaby may or may not have hypoglycemic episodes and it's good to have some nutrical or karo on hand but there's no substitute for good food.
Be sure to have your furbaby on a good diet.
