(LOW BLOOD SUGAR) - HYPOGLYCEMIA Hypoglycemia is a disorder
of the central nervous system caused by low blood sugar. Hypoglycemia can occur without warning 1) when a puppy goes to a new home, 2) misses a meal or 3) doesn't
eat full meals, 4) becomes chilled, overtired, or exhausted from too much handling or playing.
Signs to look for are depression,
weakness, wobbly or jerky body. The head appears to be tilted to either left or right side, the neck appears stiff and
in a locked position. The body may soon appear the same way and the teeth may be clamped tightly, convulsions,
seizures, or coma, which can result in death. The gums will appear white or gray
instead of pink. Remember, this is only a puppy. Compare it with an infant child, which requires extra care. You would not wake your baby up to show your friends or neighbors, so do not wake your puppy up as it needs
rest too. This is very important to your puppy's health!
Please don't put them at risk!
