| Sugar water I've read on here that some of you keep sugar water out. Is this something I should be doing. I've always just had regular water. How much Karo syrup in how much water are you using? Is there a change of too much sugar??? |

| Another idea which works well is CLEAR Gatorade-not the colored ones.. there is a water mellon one that is great. You can give that for hydration and hypoglycemia, or at a stressful time. just about a timble full is good.Make sure to read ingredients- for no caffine.

| I think they do this just for hypoglycemia-so that little dogs or young dogs have a lesser risk.

| Is there an age that you don't have to worry about this sugar issue anymore or is it always a concern no matter how old they are? |

| If the little one is healthy and eating well , there is no need for sugar water . It depend on the size of the Yorkie . One of my friends have a 1 lb 7 oz and she watch her constantly . The bigger one rarely need Nutrical or all kind of sugar water . |
