Hypoglycemia

[tdavis]

I am sorry to hear about your baby, hopefully it is nothing. How old is she and how much does she weigh? I think she should probably be checked out by the vet again. try giving karo syrup on you finger to her when she is like this, it will help to bring the blood sugar up. Let us know how she is>

She is 10weeks old and weighs 2.4 lbs. She it again last night and was breathing really fast so I gave her Karo and it seemed to help a little. She has a vet appt. next week so hopefully I can get more answers then. Any experience with Nutrical or do you think Karo is just as good?

The Karo works faster than the Nutrical, at least that's what my vet said.

I'd put some boiled chicken breast (no skin!) shredded mixed in with her meals. She should gobble that up Put a little of the broth on there too. Use NO seasonings when you cook it. Shred the chicken up and divide into some small containers, and cover with broth and freeze for convenience

I hope your baby starts eating better. A tiny dab of plain yogurt (no flavors, no fat-free, live active cultures) can also help to stimulate the appetite. My Luna was like this too when we got her and she almost died! They can get brain damage if it's allowed to continue also, so be sure to get her to eat if you have to hand feed her.

You can also mix this recipe if you need to force feed her, or if you absolutely cannot get her to eat anything else. She'll probably not want anything else if you give her this, so just use it if you have to. It took me about 6 weeks to wean Luna off of this recipe

Riley is doing much better and hasn't had an episode in 3 weeks. Her appetite has really perked up, and she is a normal, rambunctous puppy now. Hopefully she has outgrown it, but we still keep a close eye on her gums, supplement with Nutri-Stat (backed it off, though), and treat with Honey Nut Cheerios before bed.

In fact, she gained .10 lb in a week between vet visits! Our vet was impressed!

Thanks to everyone for your help and suggestions...Callie has been doing better lately thank goodness..we have been giving her cheerios with her meals and that seems to be keeping the blood sugar up. I am still going to make sure the vet does tests though next week and will keep you guys posted on what that results in. Thanks again!
