I am trying to stay awake to hear about how these babies are....but I dont know that I can go any longer.....please let us know about the babies asap....

Yorkiemom1 · 01-18-2013, 05:28 AM

I am sure you have been up all night with these babies, probably at the vet....will check in frequently during the day, for an update on them....praying they are OK, but VERY worried.....

Verbena · 01-18-2013, 05:36 AM

I hope your babies got the help they need.

Prince Toby · 01-18-2013, 06:02 AM

Thank you everyone for your help and concern. I am sorry it took so long to update. I have had my hands full taking care of these puppies. I could not find anyone to take me to the emergency vet last night (I can not drive at night) after calling everyone I knew, so I was on the phone with the emergency vet and the breeder all last night. They both said to get their sugar up. The breeder told me this happened once while she still had them. I was told to give them Karo which is all I had and then give them something high in protein to bring their protein levels up. They both suggested scrambled eggs, so that is what I gave them. I stayed up with them giving them Karo every hour. I dozed off early this morning and when I woke up they were playing, so I think they are okay. I did a whole lot of praying over them last night also. I felt so hopeless not being able to get them to the vet and having to take care of them at home, but with the vet and the breeders help I was able to get them better. I am still going to have them checked out by their vet today just to be safe. To answer some of your questions. The girls never go outside unless I am taking them to the vet. We are too afraid of them picking up something or something picking them up. The floor they are on is a brand new floor we just put down and it was swept and mopped before they were let out of their kennel, so they could not have picked up anything, so I have no idea except it was their sugar levels. I am just thankful they are okay. I love my fur babies as much as I love my skin babies. At least I could have called and ambulance for them. I wish they had some kind of transport for sick animals. I would have called them last night. Once again thank you for your concern. I will keep you all updated.

God Bless

Annmarie, I'm so sorry you had to face this last night without having any way to a vet. You must have been so scared. Praying that it was the blood sugar and everything checks out ok at the vet today. Please keep us updated after you get back from the vet - am very curious as to the cause of the episode.

And, I agree...someone should come up with a pet-ambulance/transport service for those who cannot drive.

Marhcarter · 01-18-2013, 06:33 AM

The breeder said this happened once when she had them? Have the parents been tested for any kind of seizure disorder or potentially hereditary neurological problem? Were the pups checked by a vet at the time this happened before? Did the breeder mention this particular issue at the time you get them? That sounds kinda hinky to me. I am very glad they are ok now, but keep us updated as to what the vet says.

kjc · 01-18-2013, 07:20 AM

Thanks for the update... so glad they made it through the night...

Me too!!

Yorkiemom1 · 01-18-2013, 07:39 AM

If this is a problem with these two, you will need to have NutraCal or NurtaStat on hand at all times. I has vitamines as well as hi-dose glucose, which Karo syrup does not have....Karo is just glucose....You need to go ahead and plan for this to be happening again, and have NutaCal on hand everywhere you are....and carry a tube in your purse! I used to have a baby that had sugar issues and I had tubes everywhere....here at home, in the glove box in the car, in the RV, at the lake house, in my purse.....You are going to have to monitor what they eat to be certain they are eating enough and often enough. Have it checked out....I would be concerned that this event happened to both babies at exactly the same time....unusual......little coincidences like that bother me....

Cherie6446 · 01-18-2013, 07:47 AM

This is a puzzling problem. First the breeder said this happened when he/she still had them and them you have new floors. Is it carpet, wood? Carpet can put out dangerous fumes for weeks and wood floors are installed with either nails or adhesive which could be dangerous. Hope all turns out well for you and your babies.

MandiesMom · 01-18-2013, 08:13 AM

The above reasons are why I'd really like to know what the vet says today. It is way too coincidental that this happened at the same time with both of them. I really think it is a reaction to either the new flooring or perhaps what was used to mop with.

I'm just really glad you all made it thru the night. Still praying for you and your babies!

concretegurl · 01-18-2013, 08:42 AM

Karo is not the right medicine.
as othees said nutri cal is better I use karo for my epileptic after a seizure strictly for short term rise in glucose, he then eats-if he wasn't eating afterward karo would do more harm than good.

This sounds far more than low blood sugar with the need to drink and then both simaltaniously acting this way.

They need to be under immediate veterinary care and the breeder should have more of an idea of why besides it happened before give some karo and eggs...

This is not right.

I am sorry, but I agree......on all the above points mentioned. I see Karo used all the time...Karo is an emergent measure, but that is NOT what you need to have on hand if your have a baby that has any history of hypoglycemia. You MUST keep NutriCal or NutriStat available at all times....but I do not believe for one minute the answer here was simply a case of low blood sugar....
