Need Help I Just got my baby last thursday at 9wks of age, so i had her so far for 4 days. On saturday i was taking her to get her shot and she was not her self, so the doc did not give her the shot. They did Fecal Exam and Glucose blood test. The result were that she have campylobacter and Hypoglycemia. They treating it with antibiotics and i have nutri-cal. I am so worried cause 1 min she is fine but the next it is the same again. Have anyone been thru this before? Help Please very worried about my baby. |
9 weeks is really, really young to be taken from the Momma. Reputable breeders don't let their pups go until after 12 weeks for the very reason you're experiencing now. But since this pup is so young, I'd recommend having food out 24/7 for free feeding. That way the little one can grab food whenever. Since she's so young, you need to be making sure she's eating, just like a newborn baby. Make sure you have the number of an ER vet in case she gets worse throughout the night. Good luck and keep us posted. |
what are you feeding her, is she eating fine? try boiling some plain chicken & white rice, a very bland diet to calm her stomach, feed her 3-4x's a day in small amounts. after her stool improves, add her kibble in the water that the chicken & rice was boiled in & feed her half the chicken & rice w/moistened kibble. as long as she's eating, she shouldn't have any more hypoglycemic episodes. make sure she's resting & keep her in an enclosed space where she won't exert herself...did the vet show you how to check her gums, signs for hypoglycemia? it should be pink & moist. |
I do leave her food out but she will not touch it. |
The Vet had me buy Royal Canin starter mousse. I did not no that she was to young i would have never bought her that young, But now i am doing the best I can. |
You may need to feed her yourself....and perhaps as often as every 3 hours. YHR has a puppy that was sold at 8 weeks and he kept having issues with hypoglycemia. His owner had tried free feeding and it simply did not work out. She turned him over to us at 11 weeks. He is now in a foster home and they are syringe feeding him around the clock. |
I got Cali as 9 weeks and she wouldn't eat and had parasites. The only food she would eat some of was Cesars wet food. I had to feed her every 3-4 hours day and night. For now I would check on her every couple of hours if she hasn't eaten. They can go down so quick. Cali grew out of it and eats like a little pig now. I hope she feels better soon. |
You also might ask the vet about Science Diet A/D. It is often used for these sick pups as it is high caloric. It is easy to syringe feed that food. |
Well me and my husband have been syringe feeding her today. |
me and my husband has been syringe feeding her already. |
i did syringe feed her. |
It needs to be frequent and around the clock. The fact that she has an infection is also a factor in her blood sugar going low. Here is a link with some helpful information: Dog Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention |
Me and my husband been doing it like every 3hrs. She was fine yesterday. |
Buy a can of goats milk, mix a few ounces of the milk with equal parts of water i have always give this to puppies when they were being weaned...she may be missing moms milk |
Please keep us posted we are here for you and your pup...I hope your both ok...Keep posting it will help you and your pup. |
