hypoglycemia symptoms puppies

My dog has been having the symptoms of hypoglycemia for most of his life, which have started becoming severe lately. He has a serious food aversion from an illness he had as a puppy, so he tends to miss meals and be an extremely picky eater (an issue we are constantly working on). There are times he may go without eating much for nearly 24 hours and when this happens I give when Nutri-Cal or a product called Stat.

Sometimes puppies can really sleep hard,But from the way she was acting a few days ago it sounds like she may be having some neuro problems or maybe her blood sugar was really low.If it is her sugar then they usually out grow that.If she acts odd like that again then you could try giving her some Caro syrup and that helps get ther blood sugar back up again.Alot of times with Hypoglycemia they can do what you said she was doing.What breed is she and how old?

These are vague symptoms for hypoglycemia. I would see an Endocrinologist and have some bloodwork done.

what do i look for in my female chihuahua she is crying alot an not wanting me to leave her alone for a min she is jumping in her sleep she had her 3 puppies on the 12-14-2012 this is her first litter she is 3 an a hafe years old how can i help her to sleep more an not cry so much i feel so badd for her the puppies are eating good an thay are sucking good so can some one plz tell me if my dog poko have the postpartum blues ?

hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, and it is increasingly prevalent in our society. Hypoglycemia can cause an array of symptoms, including spaciness, fatigue, mood changes, PMS, sugar craving, headaches, difficulty focusing the eyes, tremors, temperamental outbursts, depression, excessive sweating, hot flashes, palpitations, cold extremities, abdominal pain, and panic attacks.

s sugar and prevent hypoglycemia, which can lead to seizures in puppies. After you have given it the sugar water it should pick up almost immediately, and at that point, as long as it is as warm as the other puppies, you can make sure it eats. It would be a good idea to ask your vet to show you how to tube feed the puppies. It's VERY easy to do, and it makes feeding them by hand SO much easier than using a bottle.

That sounds like Reactive Hypoglycemia, which is a condition where people's blood sugar drops after eating a meal high in carbs. You could try eating less carbs and see if it improves or you could visit your doctor.

For instance, my wife and I volunteer with a local animal rescue organization here in Houston, and the vet that the rescue organization is affiliated with donates her time to our personal animals, as we volunteer our home to foster-puppies (we have anywhere from 2-4 puppies at any given time awaiting permanent adoptive owners/parents).

In the past if I delay eating I will get the classic symptoms of hypoglycemia, nervousness, weakness, jittery, and nausea. Recently I have noticed at times I have had what I will call discomfort and weakness in my left arm with a headache and numbness in the lower part of my hand from the wrist to my little finger (which doesn’t completely go away. A couple of days ago I had the same feeling in my right arm and hand.

If you let it go any longer without taking it to a vet chances are very good you are going to lose your puppy since it will start to have seizures from a combination of dehydration from not drinking and hypoglycemia from a blood sugar crash due to not eating. Very tiny puppies like that must eat several times a day to maintain their blood sugar.

Your husband could be suffering from postural or orthostatic hypotension in which the blood pressure falls on standing up. Other than this it can be hypoglycemia or vasovagal attack. Since he also gets temperature fluctuations, the first things to be ruled out are thyroid disorders, adrenal gland problems, anemia, diabetes, hypoglycemia, liver diseases, low Vit B12, and vasovagal attacks. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Take care!

I would see your doctor about this very soon, as folks with hypoglycemia may develop diabetes later on. You may have pre-diabetes, and need to go on a diabetic diet. Meanwhile, make sure you have both protein and carbohydrates with all meals, and with all snacks, which you seem to be doing. You also might need to get a dietary consult and/or see an endocrinologist, for both are specially trained in working with people with blood sugar problems.

I was also prescribed Lexapro, Lamictal, and Welbutrin for dystymia and anxiety. I recently taperd off the Lexapro. I now have all the symptoms of hypoglycemia: tingling in lips (its constant, no break) and dizziness at just the slightest turn of the head, heart rate that is averaging 100 beats per minute (this has been constant not in little bursts for about three days now), and tightness in the chest/lung area, slight muscular type pain during deep breathing (also for about 5 days now).

Your mind will be relieved, and your money for the vet visit was well spent. Personally, I always take my new puppies for a health check, even if they seem fine.

Do you have any of these symptoms...shaking, sweating, confusion, weakness?? If so, experiment with Orange juice or grape juice or whatever juice you prefer...drink 4 ounces and wait 10-15 minutes and check your count again...depending on which lab you have your blood work done, the normal range is either 70-110 or 80-120...if you are not having a hypoglycemic event, sweating, shaking etc. it's possible that your count is fine...

Hello, I've had both extreme symptoms of hypoglycemia (chills, intense hunger, rapid heartbeat, etc) and type 2 diabetes (frequent urination, thirst, rashes, fatigue) and have had several blood tests done but haven't been diagnosed with either. I was wondering if there were any specific conditions that could cause both symptoms of hypo/hyperglycemia. Thanks.

71 is normal but again I felt horrible, weak, shaky, anxiety, etc. Could this be something other than Hypoglycemia? Before I had lunch I ran 2.5 miles on the treatmill and felt fine so this is beginning to puzzle me.

Ok. I just recently found out that I'm hypoglycemic. I have a pretty good primary Doctor. But I want a second opinion. She said that with my hypoglycemia, I have the symptoms, but don't need medicine for it, I just need to eat every 2 to 3 hours. So, is that right? Do some hypoglycemics not need medicine to control it? Also, I'm terrified that I will go into a coma or have seizures...

We are not doctors on this Forum, but folks who either are parents of type 1 children or type 1 diabetic folks ourselves. Yes, your symptoms do sound like those of hypoglycemia, but an infection can also cause drenching sweats. When your body is battling an infection, stress hormones are released, and it is possible, I suppose, that your body is just not functioning at its best right now. Whether you have had mild hypoglycemia before or not, of course, we can't tell.

You don't say if you have type 1 diabetes. How low does your blood sugar drop at how long after eating. Then how high does it spike? Are you on medication or insulin?

Weight has nothing to do with, if your diabetic or not. As for you Hgb(iron count), 20 is way too high. Normal range of Hgb for women: 13-16mg/dl. I don´t know what type of physician your seeing, but you do have some diabetic symptoms and this "physician" is not capable of observing symptoms nor does he have medical criteria. Recomendation: Buy a personal blood glucose unit and monitor your results.

6 weeks is a very young age for puppies without their mom. They recommend about 8 weeks before they are even taken away from their mom. But anyways I got my puppy at weeks and she did the same thing. Are you using dry dog food? If so you need to mix with a little bit of water to make it mooshie so the baby can eat it. Puppies wobble. Thats what they do, exspecially since at this age they are clumbsie and just learning how to use their paws.

Sorry to hear you had such a scary and painful episode. I can't give advice about that specifically, but for your low blood sugar in general, even only having one or 2 a week, you can prevent those. I've had hypoglycemia symptoms since 7 years of age, I'm 37 now. A couple years ago I was extremely sick and tired of being hungry all the time and otherwise feeling terrible.

Though not the typical symptoms of hypoglycemia; similar symptoms could also be caused due to autonomic disturbances, blood pressure issues, hormonal/ endocrine abnormalities etc. I would suggest considering a detailed evaluation by a primary care physician initially and depending on the cause diagnosed/ suspected, it can be managed accordingly or specialist care may be sought. Hope this is helpful. Take care!

This could be from any number of things that only a Vet can diagnose (NOT an online forum).....Your puppies are clearly in trouble! Your description of symptoms are serious!!! You need to get these puppies to an Emergency Clinic ASAP.....I'm afraid your going to loose them if you don't seek medical assistance, fast......I do hope they are all OK........

Due to the age and symptoms, sounds like a visit to your Vet is in order. Yes, puppies can go downhill quickly.

Is anyone else having hypoglycemia (which is low blood sugar abt an hr or 2 after meals)? I'm 26wks and been having it for around a week now.How do u usually deal with it when it strikes?

thanks for your answer, but this is the only puppy i have that had these symptoms, i have 4 more and none of them show any symptoms like these. could that still make it parvo even if only one died??

My parents dog had a litter of puppies and we gave all of them away. We gave one to a neighbor and a few weeks after we gave the puppy to her, she said the puppy was getting sick. We had already given puppy his parvo vaccinations, so we were pretty sure that it wasn't parvo. Anyways, the neighbor started giving puppy penicillin and another antibiotic, and she was giving it to him about two times a day for almost 2 weeks.
