Hypoglycemia????.What Is It?

Yorkshire Terriers and many other toy breeds, due to their small size and rapid metabolism, are prone to a condition called, Hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia is a condition that occurs when your puppy?s blood sugar level (glucose) falls below normal. Glucose is what the body uses as fuel and is necessary for the brain tissue and muscles for function. Although it can be fatal, it is avoidable when equipped with the proper knowledge.

Some symptoms are:
● Lethargy
● Loss of Appetite
● Seizures
● Vomiting
● Wobbly /Dizzy Puppy
● Disorientation
● Loss of conscientiousness
● Trembling or Shaking (often mistaken as a cold or nervousness)

What causes low blood sugar?

Hypoglycemia most readily occurs in puppies under the age of 6 months of age though it is not unheard of in older dogs. It seems to be related to the small size of a toy breeds? immature liver while they are
not yet full grown. The threat usually resolves as the dog matures.

Your puppy?s blood sugar level can drop for many reasons. It can be caused by a stressful situation by shipping, or a missed meal, being chilled, or even exhaustion from too much play. Puppy hypoglycemia can usually be overcome by feeding frequent meals, since Yorkies cannot eat a lot at one time, they literally run out of fuel quickly, a commercial puppy diet is recommended. A nutritional supplement high in sugar, called Nutri-cal, can be used to keep your puppy?s blood sugar level normal. Nutri-cal can be to stimulate a puppy refusing to eat. It can be rubbed into the puppy?s gums for a more rapid result. About 20 minutes later your puppy?s appetite will return. Nutri-Cal can be purchased from your favorite, local pet store, or even from your veterinarian. Karo Syrup diluted in water is another alternative in keeping their sugar level up when they are stressed or simply having to much activity.

Definately get sugar or nutrical in to her.

I would give him a little Nutrical to be on the safe side. Has he been eating okay?

Definitely get some nitrical or sugar into her. Keep her warm and if it continues then get her to an ER. Hope she feels better soon, and please keep us posted.

Definitely give him karo syrup or nutrical! Let us know how things are going...Good luck!

Thank You All For Your Advise - We Did Give Him Karo Syrup Last Night - He Stopped The Wobbling And Slept Good - He Woke This A.m. Like A Total Nut As He Does Every Morning. I Have A Feeling He Was Over Played Yesterday - I'll Have To Get Some Nutrical And A Good Yorkie Book So I Am Better Equipped For My Puppy. Thanks Again!!!!!

Good news!! Just try and make sure he is eating his meals and if he is stressed or not eating or playing too hard give him some Nutrical.

How old is he, how much does he weigh and how often are you feeding him?

He is 12 wks today - Happy B-day Baxter - He's been eating pretty good - but after some back tracking we figured out that the food we give him may require a supplement - The original food did not - but we switched and I think that may be one of our issues. The other one is he was extremely active yesterday- Played with my husband - my kids - it was a non-stop day - Poor guy - but he really seems fine today- We will be speaking with vet later today - This is all new to me - I so don't want to screw it up.
