Hypoglycemia is often seen in young toy puppies, and most of the time the symptoms can be controlled by eating, or by giving some glucose such as Karo Syrup/Nutrical/Nutrastat to the puppy. Glucose is what the body uses as fuel and is necessary for the brain tissue and muscles to function. Hypoglycemia is when the blood sugar levels (glucose) fall well below normal. It can cause your puppy to become confused, disoriented, drowsy, have the shivers, stagger about, collapse, fall into a coma, or have seizures. If not treated it can result in death. Episodes of hypoglycemia often occur without warning. A puppy may be stressed by shipping, or a missed meal, being chilled, or even exhaustion from too much play. Because of their tiny size toy puppies cannot eat a lot at one time, and literally run out of fuel quickly. Puppies should be fed several times a day a high quality diet. Most puppies will outgrow the problem. Some very tiny dogs will continue to have bouts of hypoglycemia through out their life. If your puppy experiences episodes of hypoglycemia it is important to restore the blood levels of glucose as quickly as possible. </div> <div> Typical symptoms:</div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="605" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="40"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="40" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="558"><div> weakness </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="40"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="40" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="558"><div> listlessness </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="40"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="40" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="558"><div> depression </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="40"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="40" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="558"><div> staggering gait </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 32 WIDTH="40"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="32" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="40" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="558"><div> tremors </div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > <SCRIPT language="JavaScript">  </SCRIPT>  </FONT><A HREF="_about_the_puppies_.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" About The Puppies "><U><IMG SRC="0d090540.gif" border=0 width="144" height="84" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A><IMG SRC="13a90540.gif" border=0 width="144" height="84" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">\<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="form.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="About You"><U><I><IMG SRC="12f90540.gif" border=0 width="144" height="84" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></U></A><I><IMG SRC="15b90540.gif" border=0 width="144" height="84" ALT="Click to see what puppies we have" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > <SCRIPT language="JavaScript">  </SCRIPT> <STYLE type="text/css"></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#999999 onLoad="scrollmessage(100)" background="contents/matrix1.gif" text=#000000 vLink=#006600 aLink=#990000 link=#00ff00 leftMargin=0 topMargin=40> </FORM>  </FONT><A HREF="our_links.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Links"><U><IMG SRC="0c390540.gif" border=0 width="144" height="84" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A><A HREF="payments.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Payments"><U><IMG SRC="0f090540.gif" border=0 width="144" height="84" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A><A HREF="shipping.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Shipping"><U><IMG SRC="0f190540.gif" border=0 width="144" height="84" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A><A HREF="hypoglycemia.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Hypoglycemia"><U><IMG SRC="16790540.gif" border=0 width="144" height="84" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
