Sparky & Hypoglycemia
My pet dog Sparky, who weighs in at 14 ounces, had another couple episodes of hypoglycemia this weekend. He will definately be visiting our vet as last nights episode scared the dickens out of me. I really thought he was not going to make it through and of course its the middle of the night. We finally were able to get him to eat honey off a spoon and then he was able to eat his regular food. Sparky, since he is so little, is prone to attacks but we are usually good about making sure he has food every few hours. I’m not sure if I just didn’t notice due to the fact that I was sick with a cold, or what but it seemed to sneek up out of no where. Have any of you experienced this? Is there any thing you’ve tried that isn’t the standard: karo syrup, honey, peanut butter, cheese, etc.? If you have hands on experience with this issue, please post a comment on what works for your dogs. I’d like to have several remedies to try when this happens again. I know it will happen because Sparky is so small. Thanks all!
