Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar) in Dogs
Hypoglycemia is a syndrome that occurs primarily in toy breeds between 6 and 12 weeks of age. Some cases until the dog is 6 months of age. Any puppy is subject to hypoglycemia. A hypoglycemic attack is often precipitated by stress. The typical signs are listlessness, depression, staggering gait, muscular weakness, and tremors-especially of the face. Puppies with a severe drop in blood sugar develop seizures or become stuporous and go into a coma. Death can follow. This particular sequence of symptoms is not always seen though. For example, some puppies exhibit only weakness or a wobbly gait. Occasionally a puppy that seemed just fine is found in coma.
Episodes of hypoglycemia often occur without warning-for example, when a puppy is stressed by shipping. Other common causes of acute hypoglycemia are missing a meal, chilling, becoming exhausted from too much play, or having an upset stomach. These events place an added strain on the energy reserves of the liver.
Hypoglycemia can occur in adult dogs as a consequence of sustained exercise and depletion of liver glycogen. It is important to feed these dogs before rigorous activity and to increase the protein content of their diets. Hypoglycemia in diabetic dogs is caused by insulin overdose. Unexplained hypoglycemia that occurs in older dogs is likely to be caused by an insulin-secreting tumor of the pancreas.
Prolonged or repeated hypoglycemic attacks in toy breed puppies can cause brain damage. Puppies with frequent attacks should undergo veterinary testing to rule out an underlying problem, such as liver shunt, infection, or an enzyme or hormone deficiency.
Treatment: Try to remain calm and keep your puppy in a calm, stress free environment. Call your veterinarian at the first sign for their recommendations. If your veterinarian does not respond to you immediately call the breeder at once! The treatment of an acute attack is aimed at restoring the blood sugar. If the dog will not eat, Begin immediately. If the puppy is awake and able to swallow, give corn syrup water or sugar water by syringe, administer small amounts the puppy can swallow. Or rub corn syrup, honey, or glucose paste on the gums. You should see improvement in 30 minutes.
If the pup is unconscious, do not give an oral solution because it will be inhaled. Rub corn syrup, honey, or glucose paste on the gums and proceed at once to your veterinarian. This puppy will require an intravenous dextrose solution and may need to be treated for brain swelling. Oral glucose paste is sold at pharmacies. If you know your dog is subject to hypoglycemic attacks, keep this product on hand.
Prevention: Susceptible puppies should be fed at least four times a day or more. It is important to feed a high-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat diet. It is essential that the diet be high quality. Your veterinarian can recommend an appropriate premium food.
Food supplements and table scraps should not exceed 5 to 10 percent of the total daily ration. Owners of toy puppies should take precautions to see that they do not become excessively tired or chilled. Many (but not all) puppies outgrow this problem.
WARNING: When treating your puppy with corn syrup or other sugar based products can cause the blood sugar to rise rapidly. Be aware that as fast as the blood sugar goes up, it goes down and the puppy could crash even harder if allowed to drop TOO quickly.
. Once the puppy has started to stabilize, constant supervision is required and small amounts of food as often as every 2 hours is a must to keep the blood sugar stable. Some puppies are not willing to eat and have to be force fed until they are able to consume the appropriate amount on their own. Do not assume your puppy will be ok through the night. If you are not capable of caring for the puppy around the clock, you need to seek help with your veterinarian, breeder, or other reliable source. Do not hesitate to ask for advice; it may save your puppy's life. If your puppy has a hypoglycemic attack and you are able to stabilize it on your own, a follow up exam by your veterinarian is advised.
