hypoglycemia in toy poodles

Well, I grew up with toy poodles so I'm kind of partial to them. I have two toy poodles puppies right now. They are extremely smart, easy to train, they don't shed, although they do have to be groomed fairly regularly, maybe every 6 to 8 weeks or so. And they don't get too big, usually only 7 to 9 pounds or so. I love the caveliers too. I looked into getting one of them but read that they often times have heart problems.

Did you really mean to post a question about a dog on the Cardiology / Heart Disease Expert forum? There is a forum for pet questions, this forum is for prople that need advice from a cardiologist. Don't get me wrong, I have two toy poodles that are my world and mean everything to me and since my kids married and moved out they have replaced them as the "kids" in the family, I just don't think you'll get the answers you're looking for here.

Hello & welcome....Poodles (Toy Breeds) are notorious for Dental Disease.....Has he ever had a Dental? If Not, that's where you need to start.....Make an appointment with your Vet to have his teeth cleaned....They will be able to take care of any rotten/abcessed teeth & give an antibiotic for any infection..... Trust me, if left untreated, the bacteria from dental infection can enter his bloodstream and create all kinds of damage....The worst IMO, is Heart Disease!

my toy poodle looks very skinny, but eats regularly. I can see and feel his ribs. He is a year and a half. Is it normal for a toy poodle to look so skinny? He is a very active dog.

I really like all kinds of animals, including all dog breeds, but if I had to select a favorite I would say Poodles. I have a Toy Poodle and he is a Wonderful dog that loves to play. :) The group's photo is a picture of him.

I have two questions. I have two toy puddles who turned a year old in March. I was wondering how long the chewing stage tends to last? We try to be careful to keep things picked up off the floor but I can't count how many of my son's little toys I've caught the puppies chewing on and ruined. It doesn't help that I have a cat who tends to knock things off tables and counters so even if my son puts things up they tend to get knocked down.

But how would I be able to tell if they're ok and not sick? I'm just worried because they were out in the cold for hours today and shivering (where the lady was showing the puppies). I hope they're ok. They are pure breed toy poodles. I have a weakness for toy poodles since I grew up with them. They say they are intelligent dogs and easy to train. I hope so! I'm just worried because they're so small!

m told it is rather common in some toy breed puppies when they get their first vaccines. We are hoping it will not get any worse, as now he only has seizures a few times a month and the vet wants to take a wait and watch approach for now.

Addison’s disease is not the only cause of sudden hypoglycemia, though. Other causes that could have occurred in your dog’s case include Insulinoma (a tumor of the pancreas that produces excess insulin) and overwhelming infection (possibly secondary to the surgery, in your dog‘s case). There was a sign of possible infection in your dog: “SQ emphysema” in the integument at the suture site, this can be indicative of infection.

Seizures are very common in diabetic hypoglycemia, when the diabetes has gone completely out of control. It is just possible this could be a nervous system issue, but the first priority is to find out why the blood glucose level is high - and then work on a diagnosis from that point.

As you can see I too have a weakness for dogs, specifically two toy poodles. They are a real comfort to me and a joy to come home to. I can't imagin not having them around, although it's hard to look manly driving your Vette with two toy poodles hanging out the window!.

Equally, it could be pure anxiety (not untypical in poodles). The root of the anxiety may have been caused prior to you having her - or it could linked to the bedtime regime. She may look forward to bedtime so much, it causes her to become anxious - or indeed it could be the reverse, that something about bedtime is making her feel afraid and anxious. I have had rescues all my life, and some do preset some odd lifelong behavior that is often difficult to change.

Can anyone tell me if this is common in old dogs or just poodles? Is there anything that I can do?

My toy poodle is 3 years old and has always hated his feet touched. Needless to say I have to have his nails cut and he needs a haircut and I have them shave his feet at the same time. I've asked the doctor and nothing is wrong with him. Has anyone ever had this problem with their dog? I've had 3 poodles and this is the first time this has happened. I've gotten them all at 9 weeks. Thank you.

This type of hypoglycemia does not lead to diabetes.

Hello & welcome.... Google: "Reverse Sneeze" & see if that's what your dealing with.....It's very common in Toy Breed & harmless.....Just shocking to watch!

I am so happy that you got sisters. I wish I did that when I got my Julie who is a toy/mini Poodle also. (she is borderline toy). Julie also dislikes her head washed. lol I always bathe her in the kitchen sink since she's so small. I just tilt her head back & hold her eyes with my hand & spray her head & eays. She doesn't cry or struggle anymore but surely doesn't like water in her face. (Hey, I thought Poodles were water dogs..what happened here??

Have you thought about a poodle? I know you said you wanted a large dog but poodles come in all sizes from teacup to standard (the large poodle). They don't shed, they're hypoallergenic, they don't drool, they're very intelligent dogs, loyal, loving, playful and easy to train they say. Just a thought.

Toy sizes are also prone to typical toy problems like hypoglycemia and of course frailness. One of the things that Minis can be plagued with is pancreatitis. I would think they would have found that with exploratory surgery though. Maybe he got hurt? Tiny dogs get hurt very easily and it could literally be anything. As far as his gallbladder goes, sometimes liver and/or heart problems are also present with an enlarged gallbladder, so you might want a liver enzyme test and a cardio test.

I breed toy poodles. I have three pups right now that arec10weeks and within the last 3 weeks I'm noticing more scratching in all three pups and hairless on their necks from scratching. No fleas. Vet has given them one dose of advantage once a week, their second treatment will be this monday. He thought MAYBE it could be walking dandruff but he says may not be as there's no dander full or flakey skin at all.

I have a 7 yr old toy poodle, Zorra, she is off her food eating very little even when we switch food and offer treats. She is a little lethargic but still gets excited to go on rides in the car etc. is moving around fine. I have felt her all over for lumps etc, but nothing. She lets me do this with no problem so I figure she doesn't have pain. Teeth and gums look good. still having bowel movements ok just less frequently.

s easier that way. I grew up with toy poodles and cats and they all got along. I have a maltese mix and two cats and my dog gets along with other dogs and cats real well, however isn't real good with small children (pulling on his ears, hugging too tight, etc.) I have to really watch him around small children. He has snapped and growled but not bitten. That's why sometimes the larger dogs do better with small children.
