| My poor baby!! I have a new puppy, her name is Bella. She is 7 weeks old and weighs 2 lbs. I was away today and my DH I guess didn't make sure she ate today. When I got home I wormed her for the first time.. about 45 mins. later she started shaking, laying around, and kinda like half hiccuping... I am not sure if it is hypoglycemia, or if some of the wormer went down the wrong tube, or if she had a reaction to the wormer... I went to my neighbors and got some Nutrical for her and that stopped everything except the half hiccups.. I am worried BTW I will add a pic of my new baby soon!!

| she probably should have had something in her tummy before the worming went- make sure she has eaten next time before you do that. SHe is VERY young to be in her forever home- if you are at all worried about her call the vet ASAP |

| I hope your baby is feeling better. I would take her to the vet too if her symptoms after being wormed does not improve. I am not a veterinarian, but maybe she was having a reaction to the wormed medication. |

| That's an awfully young pup to be away from it's litter mates! Hopefully, it's nothing severe but just a reaction to the wormer. I would take her to the vet, to rule out the possibility of hypoglycemia or other possible diagnosis's. Hopefully she is feeling better and has stopped the hiccups.

| I agree she is young... I normally wouldnt have gotten a pup so young, but the conditions she was living in was HORRID!!! She was the last pup they had, and I knew they wouldn't hold her, so I took her. She isn't papered or anything, which I don't care I took her because I fell in love They had not given her any shots, and I am sure the mother hasn't had hers (stupid ppl) so I am trying to get her caught up! After I posted she fell asleep for about an hour and a half, she still had the half hiccup things, so I watched her carefully while she sleeped lol. reminded me of when my babies where babies and watching them sleep to mack sure they were breathing! Well I woke her up and fed her again and took her out to potty and she us great!! she was wrestling w/the kittens and running around.. I am making her take it easy though, so I picked her up and cuddled her back to sleep Has anyone ever been told to leave sugar water down for their pup? My neighbor (the one i got the nutrical from) told me to do that.. Thanks for the well wishes!! I am going to call the vet in the am just to be safe.. I have to anyway my Zoe (8 yr old yorkie) was chewing on a bone and broke her tooth!! it is half hanging there! I dont know what to do so I am going to ask the vet which means a trip in and some xrays im sure! I am worried the root is still in her gum on the broken side.. ig it is i am sure that will mean dental surgery.. poor thing has had a rough life!!!

| I am happy that your Yorkie is feeling better. I agree with you about taking the dog to the vet tomorrow to make sure she is O.K. I heard about putting sugar or honey in the dog's water bowl too. My veterinarian told me to put honey in Josh's water bowl when he was a puppy. Last edited by JoshieBoy; 06-01-2009 at 08:06 PM. |

| Good luck at the vet tomorrow for both of your babies! Since your new baby came from such a bad place, I'd take her to the vet often just for regular check ups. I never think it's wrong to be "too" safe =)

| Haven't heard of the sugar water with Yorkies but our vet had us do this once a week with our Pom's when they were little to stop hypo attacks.

| My veterinarian recommended I put honey in his water to prevent my dog from suffering from hypoglycemia. He was small then. My veterinarian did not want him to lose sugar after playing for long periods (exhausted). I did not put honey in his water every time I gave him water.

| Well, I took them to the vet today, Bella is fine, she had palyed too hard and had not gotten enough to eat so the vet told me to make sure I was feeding a good puppy food.. which i am, but she thinks the cat food tastes much better lol. They gave Zoe a muscle relaxer and pulled her tooth. she has an antibiotic to take for a few days to fight infection, and they gave her prednisone for skin allergies. they wanted me to get comfortis for flea prevention (my neighbor has a butt load of dogs, so it is flea centeral around here...) I have 3 dogs now... it is over $80 for a box!!! i can not afford that they tried to pressure me into it telling me that there really isnt anything they could do for her allergies if i wasnt going to do anything about the fleas. I use frontline plus, but it doesnt last a month tends to wear off after a few weeks. Then when I was leaving zoe was sleeping in my arms and kinda woke up when i got up she started pawing the air... she was high lol.. well so ppl came over and kept trying to pet her and have their baby pet her!! I was like she is drugged up she isnt awake and kept moving away and they kept following I was like wtf!!!
