Does your furbaby get cold real easy?

[Mysweetbabies]

I have 3 furbabies. Daisy is only 2lbs. I took them last week to get a summer cut. Since then, I have noticed Daisy shakes alot. I assume she is cold because she has never done that before. The other two don't seem to be cold ,but they are 5lbs. She won't wear any doggie clothes. I try and keep her snuggled with me. Does she shake because she doesn't have as much fat on her than the others?

She could be cold...but there are other reasons why she might be shaking. One of the signs of low blood sugar is shaking. Are you supplementing her w/Nutri-Cal or Karo syrup? Have you checked her gums? It should be pink in color. The tiny ones need that extra loving care. Hope someone w/more experience answers.

Does low blood sugar only happen when they are hungry? I hope this isn't a dumb question ,but can her sugar drop if she is cold also? I got her when she was 7wks. old and she is now 6mths. old and she has never had her blood sugar before. She has a good appetite. Thank goodness. She started shaking some after she got her summer cut.

Sorry, I meant to say she has never had her blood sugar drop before.

Ok...in that case...maybe she is cold. Brrrrr If she has a good appetite & is now a healthy 6 month old...I don't think it's low blood sugar. Sorry, didn't mean to alarm you~

You didn't alarm me I was worried about low sugar too, but it didn't start until the haircut. I didn't realize they can get cold so easy. She likes it when I wrap her in her blankie and hold her. I know now not to get her hair cut too short. Live and learn

When Curly was little(r) she would shiver all the time. I used to try to make her wear sweaters to stay warm but she hated those so I just wrapped her in her blanket and carried her that way. She doesn't do it much anymore, just when she's wet. Even if it's hot out and she's playing in the sprinklers she shivers.
