| Referring to yorkies being Hyploglycemic.... Is this generally in PUPPIES?? As they get older, is their body able to regulate it's sugars better?? or is it also common in older dogs too? My pup is 6 mos. now, and I just want to know if he is getting in the 'clear'. We will be bringing him to a kennel when we take our vacation this year..........and I just don't want to be wondering if he is/isn't eating. He stayed at my parents house while our family went away for a weekend, and he didn't want to eat much food............please let me know if they kind of GROW OUT OF IT or not. Thanks! Heidi PS also..........he DOES have extra "cushiness" on his body......he's by no means lean.......but he's NOT overweight either. Last edited by Siara28; 05-09-2007 at 09:30 AM. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | When he stayed at your parents, did he ever get shaky? It's pretty common for them to eat less at a strange house or kennel. It's usually seen mostly in pups, so if he's healthy he should grow out of it. My Marcel is 21 weeks and the only time I use it now is before and after the vet. You could also ask the kennel to give him a dab of Nutrical a.m. and p.m., if they notice he's not eating enough - or even if he is (it'd help w/ extra stress-burned calories). That way, you might not worry as much.
