How do you recognize low sugar? How do you know if your puppy has low sugar? I am very new to this and am unsure of what to look for? Also, is honey or corn syrup better in dealing with this? How do you administer it, how much and how often? Thanks! Lori |
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! |
Symptoms would be shaky, falling over, trouble holding their head upright, seizures. You can rub karo syrup over their gums to bring the sugar level back up. Or you can buy some nytrical and give them some to prevent their sugar from dropping. It's available at pet stores. |
Is Karo syrup just as good......or okay? WHat about honey? Thanks! |
My vet told me to get the Karo syrup When I first took Harley to the vet, she told me to get Karo syrup.. Luckily I have never opened the bottle- he is now 1 year and 1 month old. |
Lady is an insulin dependant diabetic so I am all too familiar with hypoglycemia! These are the signs in order of seriousness: lethargy (lack of energy) weakness head tilting "drunkedness" - wobbling when walking, unbalanced hunger restlessness shivering ataxia - usually lack of muscular coordination, but maybe changes in head and neck movements disorientation stupor convulsions or seizures coma Karo Syrup is good, but any sugar source will do - honey, pancake syrup, jelly, etc. anything high in sugar. Remember, though, this is just a quick "sugar fix" and he'll need real food as soon as possible. |
