(Low Blood Sugar)
Hypoglycemia is a central nervous system disorder caused by low blood sugar. It occurs mainly in Toy Breeds between the ages 6 and 12 weeks. Some of the causes are STRESS, not eating frequently enough, getting too cold, etc. The first signs of low blood sugar are those of listlessness and depression. This condition is recognized when the puppy lies down, does not play or try to get up, staggers when it walks or even a seizure. Also the eyes can look dull and not bright.
It is always easier to prevent Hypoglycemia than to try to treat it!
Hypoglycemia can occur without warning when a puppy is placed in a new home. It may appear after a puppy misses a meal, gets chilled, has a digestive upset or become exhausted from too much playing or handling.
To prevent this from happening make sure your puppy eats every 3 hours and gets his frequent rest breaks.
If the puppy has low blood sugar, add unflavored Pedialite to their water to keep the puppy from becoming dehydrated.
Treat as soon as possible, but DO NOT PANIC! If the puppy is lethargic give about 2 cc (about as much as you put on your tooth brush) of Nutri Cal, honey, or Karo syrup immediately. Put it in the puppys mouth or if he's unresponsive rub it on his gums. Keep your puppy warm, possible with a towel that has been warmed in the dryer. Your puppy should start responding within 10 minutes. Any doubts call your veterinarian!!!
Try to get you puppy to eat asap. May need to keep some Cesars wet food, beef or chicken baby food for times like these.
It that can be purchased at Pets Mart or Pet Co.

Thank you Princess Puppies and Brittany for our little girls!
We purchased “Jessie” almost 3 years ago. We named her Charley. She is the sweetest, FUNNIEST little Pom-a-Poo! She loves people and everyone loves her. She’s smart and is the apple of our eye. When we lost our poodle of 18 years, we were heartbroken. Charley has filled our home with laughter and love. Thank you, Princess Puppies and Brittany for raising such wonderful friends! ❤️ Tracy
We had a beautiful 5 year old Shitzu that we loved. A Hawk killed her the day after Christmas. We were heartbroken. We found Princess Puppies and Brittney met us at 7 pm that evening to let us meet Noel. It was love at first sight. We have had her a few days now and she is the sweetest little furbaby. Very cuddly and affectionate. Has slept with us...

Piper just made 1 year old and she has brought so much love to our family. She is a Malshi and weighs 9 pounds. She has been a sweetheart from the moment we got her. It is obvious she was well loved when we got her. I recommend Princess Puppies highly.
This is my heartbeat Bentley <3 He loves his mama and is always in my lap :) He is the best snuggler and goes everywhere with me in his stroller. He is a Malshi and weighs 12lbs. He loves his rubber ducks! Shared
My baby Liberty is almost 1. I bought her last October and she has been the light of my life. Her personality is so sweet and she is spoiled rotten. Princess Puppies was very accommodating when I inquired about their puppies and meeting me on my time schedule. I could not be a happier fur mom. Liberty Pearl 7-4-17.
