| my puppy shaking..? i'm not sure if i'm paranoid.. but while i was in the kitchen.. i saw my puppy started to shake for no reason.. like as if he was scared.. he was tied down with a leash to the crate.. he had the leash stretched since he wanted to see what i was doing.. but i noticed that he was trembling/shaking. there was nothing that should have scared him so i'm not sure why he might have been like that.. i went over and held him asking him what's wrong and such and he shaked a bit and calmed down and fell asleep on me. anybody know what this could be? or am i really just paranoid lol i just never seen him do this before unless i know something scared him for sure.. (like crazy kids running around) so i'm not sure.. i'm not sure if the leash ended up being too tight or from something he ate.. i gave him some apples earlier but im sure its not that..

| @mawilliams3 aw.. poor puppy. was he ok? so do you think i should take kupo to vet and get him checked out for hypoglycemia? i thought hypoglycemia is low blood sugar that happens when they don't eat much properly. o.o he ate most of his food today though. is nutrical vitamin or something? |

| He's fine, can't keep him out of the litter box till I put it in the laundry basket. Lol. He loves poop, gross I know but to him its gourmet. Just this morning I let him in the yard to do his thing and stood on the porch to keep an eye. I clapped (his signal to come in) and here he comes trotting up the porch with a hunk of poop (rabbit or deer) in his mouth ready to stash in his bed for a treat later. Looked at mom and dropped it..... On my porch.... Like I hadn't seen it. Little snot. Lol. Hypoglycemia is a drop in blood sugar. I didn't recognize it because I was at work and my sister in law had come to my house to wash her laundry and let him out for a trot in the yard. At that time he was only 3 lbs and it was snowing. She called me an hour after she had let him in said he looked drunk or like he had Parkinson's. I left work and she met me in my driveway. I had already called my vet to let them know I was on the way. Scooped him up and off we went. His blood sugar had dropped to 18 or something crazy low in that range. When they are tiny like that they burn up sugar just by being cold because the body tries to warm up using what the body has stored. Anyway, vet gave him warm IV fluids and checked his bs. Got it back up to 170's and sent him home with me. The next day he still wasn't eating so we went back (my vet is at the vet hospital but they still jack up the price on weekends.... Grrrr) and she drew tons of blood from his neck and took a stool sample ( by force much to Mr. B's dismay) and wrote a prescription. She called me Sunday and said he had corcdia or something like that. From eating deer poop.

| hi guys. thank you both for your replies. i've just called the vet and they said since it just happened once, i shouldn't be TOO worried, but certainly come asap if it happens again. still worried about him though... so gonna go by petsmart or whatever and pick up nutrical lol i guess i can go by walmart too and pick up some karo. @pstinard, so its pretty common for puppies to go through hypoglycemia? i know yorkies tend to have this so i was pretty much paranoid lol @mawilliams3, wow.. that day must have been hectic for you. i'm glad your puppy is doing fine kinda weird that he likes eating poo. lol i donno what i'd do if kupo ends up liking poo... i'm used to cats and im def. not used to dogs licking my face.. i had kupo for like a month and i still freak out when he kisses me lol |
