This little Chihuahua is in hypoglycemic shock. I found her this way in the morning when I got up. My husband quickly grabbed the phone and started recording while I began the process of getting Nutri-cal down her. I'll say it's not uncommon with little chihuahua puppies. First, don't panic. It looks like a seizure, but the solution is fairly easy. Just be prepared and have Nutri-cal handy. Put a dollop on your finger - about the same amount of toothpaste you would use on your toothbrush. Gently open her mouth and push the Nutri-cal in. She will probably start to lick or slowly swallow the Nutri-cal, and then let her rest for a few minutes. Watch her. Try another dollop in a few minutes. At this time, you'll probably begin noticing her energy level start improving. It'll take time and be patient. But again, your puppy will begin to awaken from this hypoglycemic state.
The problem was that Chihuahuas are the smallest breed. They need food available to them throughout the night. I believe in "free feeding" my Chihuahuas for this very reason. Larger breeds can go through the night without food, but not Chihuahuas.
Remember, the key is not to panic. I've heard from Chihuahua owners who will rush to the emergency vet and pay two or three thousand dollars, only to find out that the puppy was in hypoglycemic shock. How sad for her. She's at the doctor's office getting poked with needles and tested and handled in unfamiliar surroundings. The owner is out thousands of dollars, plus the time delay of just getting to the vet.

I wish I had taken a "before" and "after" video to show everyone how this little girl bounced back. I caught her in time before she crashed too much and the NutriCal brought her back to normal within about an hour.

So i went to a 24 hr animal hospital today and they were trying to make us put our mini schanauzer to sleep.. Saying she was in pain and wont make it thru the night.. Me and my wife decided to take her home with us and we stumbled across this video.. She is up and responsive now thank u so much.. She was just like this puppy in the video.. Your knowledge helped us
Javier Garcia OMG!! Hugs and kisses to you guys. Such a close call for your fur baby. Im so glad you stumbled onto my video. 😘
@@SweetiePiePets Me too im so glad I came across this video , thank you soooo much . I have a Pomeranian puppy 11 weeks old she had the same thing yours had today, I rushed her to the vet he really strongly advised me to give her back because I will have thousands of pounds out of pocket . she is normal now he gave me diazepam to put in her bum in case she has another epilepsy wait 5 minutes then use the diazapam. i love her so much but i also dont have money like that. I thought my son had feed her when he went to college but he hasnt gone so i only fed her in the afternoon then 3rd feed 5 pm if it is low sugar does it means she might never had this happen again ?? please some one help understand thanks
Estela Burrows so sorry I had missed your last question. It’s is likely she can have low blood sugar again because she is small and her tiny frame doesn’t store enough energy to sustain her for long. I recommend to feed her more often (every 3 hours or so) or just “free feed” meaning she has a bowl of food available all the time. I also recommend having Nutrical on hand.
A vet that does not know hypoglycemia, a very common problem with puppies!?
THAT PERSON HAS NO RIGHT TO TREAT PATIENTS if they are clueless about their job!!
I know it's been 2 years since your comment, but you NEED to go to another vet that knows what he/she's doing.
What a fucked up vet
This video saved my dogs life thank you
I am so glad to hear it! You are welcome and take care of that little fur baby of yours :)
Why
Mine to
This video saved my rat
This saved my puppy last night. Thank you
This saved my puppy’s life, I bought it after seeing this video. It was my last resort before her passing away .Just want to say thank you.
adrian rios you and your fur baby are SOOO welcome. Thank you so much for letting me know my video helped save a life. Take care of that sweetie pie 😘
Sweetie Pie Pets ....Puppy is soo happy and full of life having the puppy for a couple of days she was very sad and didn’t eat much after giving this product to her woke her up from the dead and nailing some wet food she now loves, saved her life thank you again... My wife and I are blessed to have found this video and to keep our second baby 🐶 alive...
If you have a small dog they need to eat every couple hours when there tinny. You need to get corn syrup or sugar. Rub it on there gums. They’ll snap out in seconds then feed them immediately. Yes you can do this when there completely out.
wow in the comments you really saved puppies and saved ppl from heartache, much respect. i have a rottweiler but i felt like i should learn for whatever the future may bring or maybe i can help someone else.
❤️❤️ makes me feel very good to know I helped other families ans their sweetie pies
You saved my dog thank you😣😣😢😢😢😢
Oh my goodness, I'm so happy to hear that. Poor baby. So happy you came across the video and saved your Sweetie Pie! XOXO
Omg I wish I saw this sooner . PLEASE educated yourselves before getting a small breed puppy . Picking my pup up this afternoon from the hospital and after about 4K in vet bills 😢
At least they’re alive, it’s worth it
omg. My puppy is still in the emergency hospital for 2 days. And already spent 3k. When I ask doctor why his blood suger level can't get to normal. They just can't really answer the question. And ask me to pay for another test(abdominal ultrasound)? Are they over charging? I think I should just bring my puppy home after watching this video.😭
@@cslily honestly it sounds like one of those things companies can get away with
@@cslily Same, she had the Abd US and still nothing, couldn't answer the reason why her glucose was so low in her labs.
Only thing on there mind is money in the vets
Ok so I just received my puppy at 1am from a puppy delivery service. The puppy was extremely lethargic and wouldn’t/couldn’t get up. It’s a very tiny puppy I thought it was having a seizure and I started praying for him and of course was crying. Then I calmed down and opened RUclips to hopefully find some help and I can’t believe I came across this video and puppy has life in him again. 🙏🏽 thank you so much 😭 you informative video saved my puppy.
So glad to know my video saved your precious puppy! Best of luck to you
The delivery service was idiots!!! They should know better
This video also save my dogs life... Thank you so much GodBless :)
Oh my goodness, I'm so glad! I hope your little Sweetie Pie has many more years of love to give!
If you're in the moment, then honey works too for a temporary fix
Yes, good advice 👍🏻
@Pro Justice you’re so welcome ❤️ I wish you and your sweetie pie the very best 🙏🏻 what country are you in? I love talking to fellow chihuahua lovers from all over the world ❤️
Is that bad for them?
Is that bad for them?
@@julioramos869 yes, hypoglycemia is fatal if untreated 💔😢
Years later you are still saving the lives of pets. I just came from the Vet ER was told $5k-7k for hospital stay, which we could not afford, we took her home and was considering taking out a loan to save her because she had a second seizure/hypoglycemic reaction but then God led me to your video. My dog started being able to lift her head and responsive, did I say that she is in the last days of her pregnancy.
Yes they recommended putting her and her puppies to sleep.
My dog will live and not die!!! Thank you Jesus!!
I am so glad you were led to find this video and save your precious sweetie pie. Shame on that veterinarian. Blood sugar is the FIRST thing they should have checked! Sending my love and well wishes 🙏🏻❤️
I just finished your 10 minute interval, my husband just left to get high protein canned puppy/dog food
She is a 3 year old Yorkie.
Again thank you!!
Just wanted to note, for a faster response and the best jump in their glucose stabilizing, give Karo syrup (or some type of syrup/sugar water)... That will work way quicker than nutrical. Rub it under the tongue and on the gums for faster absorbtion. It doesn't absorb as quickly when it goes down the throat. Once the puppy bounces back (usually back to normal, make sure they are warm and get some type of protein).. Then I would follow up with nutrical (or dyne) 3 times a day for 1-2wks.
D Babies thanks for your input. I’ve had excellent results with nutrical and karo syrup alike. Nutrical is thicker than karo syrup and tends to stay in their mouth longer and absorbs through the gums too. Are you a breeder?
@@SweetiePiePets Yeap, I'm a breeder. I breed Yorkies. I've had many tinies.. One of my studs is 1.9lbs full grown from my breeding, and his sister was only 8oz at 12wks old.. In the last 2yrs, I have produced 4 tinies that stayed less than 2lbs full grown. I don't breed for the size (their parents are 4-5lbs) but the lines are super tiny, so they pop up every litter.
Nutrical is mainly a vitamin supplement but does have corn syrup in it, so there is sugar in it that helps against hypoglycemia. But with regular Karo syrup (or another syrup), it's pure sugar, so it will bring them back way quicker than Nutrical. That will take a bit longer to absorb. And I know it sounds weird, but it's like when drug addicts rub drugs against their gums and under their tongue for a faster high... you rub the Karo (or nutrical, if that's your preference) on the gums/under the tongue area and you will see a super quick response.
I don't do nutrical anymore, because not all of my pups took to it, and I would go through it too fast. I use Dyne now, which is a sweeter, more liquid like version of Nutrical. The dogs are way more addicted to it, too. lol I pour a little over their food, and they will just lick it off, and will spend their entire time trying to find any drop they might have missed.
hello sir can I ask the interval of putting the karo syrup in their gums
I use Karo. Recommended by our vet and local animal hospital for toy breeds. Massage some into their gums everyday, or put 2 tablespoons a day in their water bowl. You can also massage right into their gums during an episode just like this. Works wonders. Nutrical doesn't come close to how fast karo works for emergencies.
Hi! Wonder how many times do you do the water and sugar thing? Hoping for your reply.
When I got my puppy in September and after watching some of your videos I was so nervous I made sure I fed him every 4 hrs around the clock. Now he’s 5 months old and doing great. Thanks for your videos. ❤
You are so welcome and congratulations on your young sweetie pie adoption ❤️
These videos are heartbreaking but sharing awareness. Thank you so much for your education. Ive never seen this before.
Thank you for this video!! I have a 16 yr old Yorkie, had her first and very bad episode last night. One of the most heartbreaking and scary things to watch. We thought she was just dying from being so old. she couldn’t hold her head up, having seizures, breathing was very shallow, and her heart rate was really low. I thought maybe her sugar is low and gave her some honey. After a few minutes she was finally able to stand up on her own and look around at us. Since then I’ve been trying to figure out what was wrong with her and I seen your video and it’s exactly how she looked.
I hope your sweetie pie is doing better. It’s so hard to watch them struggle with health problems as they age. Yes I recommend keeping Nutrical on hand so hypoglycemia can be quickly dealt with. Hopefully you figure out why your elderly lady wasn’t eating enough. Sometimes it can be as simple as an upset stomach or a tooth ache
This happens to my small chihuahua mix, I keep glucose gel in the fridge for her but I will look into the pet version of what you have there! ❤️ Thank you!
Wow, thank you for showing a video of this, it's really helpful to see it in action as opposed to just hearing about it. Must have been hard to get on camera but what a useful tool for everyone.
Yes, the nails prove I had no intention of filming a video that day 😅 but when it happened I had to film it to show people what it looks like. It’s so scary to find your baby like that 😢
Literally just went through this 5 mins ago.
I go through this with my teacup poodle every so often I’ve been rushing to the kitchen to get honey but now I know to go buy nutrical
So glad you’re prepared to deal with hypoglycemia for your sweetie pie ❤️❤️❤️
I wanted to add that corn syrup, honey, and pancake syrup ( NOT SUGAR FREE) will work. I feel that if you have a toy sized dog or puppy it would be wise to invest in a glucose meter and quality lancing device. Even if they are not conscious they can absorb sugar through their gums. You will put your sugary substance on their gums, repeating and testing Blood Glucose , every 15 minutes, until the dog is acting normally and glucose levels are at or close to 100. At that point you will want to feed them a peanut butter sandwich appropriate for the size of the dog ( regular peanut butter, not sugar free) and some cooked chicken breast. The sandwich will help to rise the glucose and the protein will help keep glucose levels risen. Test blood glucose again every 30 minutes for the next hour. Then test again before you go to bed or leave the dog alone to make sure glucose is within safe limits. Normal dog glucose runs between 62 and 125. Ideal is 80< > 125 blood glucose.
You saved my puppy's life... Thank you so so much... 😊😊
Stephie Chang You are so welcome! Very happy to hear this ❤️
Our 6 month old chihuahua has just started doing this we have him booked in the vets Thursday he's done it twice first time I thought he was dying very scary for him and us.Thanks to vids like yours we are now more informed
I'm so sorry to hear about your sweetie pie. I hope the vet can find out what the problem is ASAP. Did you give your sweetie pie nutrical or did he come out of it on his own? If he came out of it on his own, it's not likely low blood sugar. I wish you and your sweetie pie the very best. 🙏
LOVE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT YOU GIVE US. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU. YOU ARE A BLESSING TO ALL.
Thank you for leaving your comment ❤️
I use light corn syrup. My vet recommended it. Rub it on gums, dog comes out in seconds. Then I feed my chihuahua some canned food high in protein. Works like a charm! Yes, scary the first time you see it! My vet said small dogs need to eat every two hours to keep up blood sugar. 😀
God bless you. I found this video last night and already had the nutri cal at hand and followed you procedure. It saved Mollys life. Maltipoo.
I am so happy to hear your sweetie pie Molly survived ❤️❤️❤️ wishing you and Molly the very best
this literally saved one of my 2-day-old pups. he was having sort of seizures, where his whole body would tense up (like a rock) for a few seconds. the longest was about 15 seconds. he wasnt even breathing. I thought he was dying (he was), then he would fall completely limp, exhausted from the seizure i imagine. after i watched this, i came to the conclusion that he wasnt eating enough (milk), so we *immediately* started "forcing" him to latch and drink from the mother, we put aside 2.5hrs just for this. he finally latched on by himself after placing his mouth to the tit. im taking a break now but we will be heading back. he is still recuperating, alive because of this video. i wrote all this so that if something like this happens to a dog owner, they may learn and save their puppy. once again, my pup is only almost 48hrs old. you can do this.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your comment. I wish your tiny puppy the very best 🙏❤️🙏
I’m so hurt a couple months ago I had my tea cup Pomeranian put to sleep because the vet said she was in pain and the only way to save her would be to keep her at the vet for a week and the price rang for that was $5,000 which I couldn’t afford. I wanted to try to save her so bad but it killed me when I saw her having a “seizure” and thought she was in pain. So I let them put her to sleep. Now hearing she could’ve been saved brings tears to my eyes 💔 she was the sweetest thing I wish I would’ve found this video sooner 😔
:(
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Unfortunately, most vets are all about the money.
I found my Yorkshire terrier like this she weighed just 1lb and my vet said should have never have been sold she needed syringe feeding food and water every 2 hours it was harsh but she lived 11 years and we lost her last year it’s sick to try and breed dogs as teacup my little dog had a life full of health problems she was little and cute but she deserved better and should have lived much longer.
You saved my puppy's life, Thanks a million!
May God bless you so
Much! You saved my puppy’s life a 6 week year old yorki poodle 💕 I used honey because I didn’t that on hand at the time but it worked with the time intervals!
I am so relieved to hear it!!!! Good luck to you and your sweet little baby!
@@SweetiePiePets Thankyou!! He is running around and jumping like nothing ever happened 🙌🏼
Good advice! I wish you'd add that honey and maple syrup are good temporary substitutes, and that if they are unconscious or clenched up too tight that you're supposed to rub small amounts of whatever sugary substance you choose on their gums continously while driving to the vet.
Good luck everyone!
Those are excellent points 👍🏻
Poor baby.....
I wish I had saw this video before I took my pup to the emergency vet. I’m out of 2 grand for something I could have fixed at home 😵💫. I’ll definitely buy the nutri cal to have it on hand just in case she goes hypoglycemic again. I also know not to panic should it happen again…thanks to this video!
My 4 month old shitzu was having seizures and afterwards she would stay like the pup in the video and I went and looked for the product you used but there wasn’t any, I bought the ultra mega high calorie booster as soon as I gave her some I saw a change 20 mins later, I also used sentry calming ointment for dogs because she would stress out really bad, I also gave her pedialite because she couldn’t eat or drink water for 2 days, ibuprofen for children because she was hot even after a shower and I got her the pet naturals calming chews so she can sleep well at night, she was basically dead and all of that lifted her up, she’s eating on her own now and drinking water. So thank you so much, Im so glad I came across this video. 😊
Mayra Hinojosa omg I’m so sorry to hear about your little sweetie pie. I’m so glad she’s ok now. Poor baby. It’s so scary. Super happy my video helped you guys. Hugs! 🤗
I'm a type one diabetic and I know exactly how that puppy felt.
Oh my gosh wow!! Thank you for sharing your personal experience 🙏🏻
As someone who suffers from Hypoglycemia I know how this baby feels, it's awful. Poor baby
Must feel awful 😢 I’m so sorry you deal with this
@@SweetiePiePets when it gets to its worst/lowest I can't feel anything. But the hangover like headache sticks around for hours when it's finished. I feel so bad for the animals because they don't know what's happening and can't treat themselves 😔
Love you thank you my pup is doing this and I’m so scared!!!
I hope you were able to stabilize your sweetie pie. You can use nutrical or karo syrup or even just some apple juice if that’s all you have. Initially you just need to raise his blood sugar to get him back up on his feet and then you need to get food down him. Wish you the very best
Yes I did! Thank you! she’s so healthy and happy now and it has never happened again so that was what I needed to do!!
@@hadzfs1700 wonderful. So, so glad she’s ok now
I'm confused you said don't panic but you also said the dog doesn't have much time to live? My dog did something similar to this and now she's fine and we gave her honey?
Don't panic and fumble around, just know what it is and act quickly and she'll be ok
My Chihuahua adult age 7 boy just had this, he was acting very sleeping in his pen, then he let out a scream and had a little 'seizure' went ridged and fast heart rate, Thank God i was in the room, I immediately got him in some Karo syrup and he came around quick. Back to normal dancing and playing. BE CAREFUL even with small adult or senior dogs!!! He's a picky eater at times and I think he had not eaten in a while or had just been so hyper running around all day.....
Scotty Mathieson omg 😱 I’m so sorry for your 7 year old sweetie pie ☹️ but also so glad you knew what to do to treat it. Tiny picky eaters are the most worrysome 😱
thank you so much❤️ this saved my puppies life!
I'm so glad I helped!
I have a puppy too and im taking care of him. Its very good for me because im epilepsy patient
I'm so upset I didn't see this- My puppy died from this just a few hours ago. I could've saved him
I’m so very sorry for your loss 😢
Oh thank you so much it really helped me
Estela Burrows you’re so welcome. Hugs 🤗
Those of you here with dogs who went through this, how old were they?
And did they have any other health issues? Asking to learn.
Typically low blood sugar is most concerning when they are puppies starting from the time the mommy starts to wean them. However low blood sugar can happen to any aged dog, especially the smaller ones.
My dog has this and looks exactly like this one we don’t have the nutrical so we use syrup will that help???????
Hello, I hope you can help me too with my question. My pomeranian teacup is experiencing the same and I thought he's having a seizure. I would like to try it too but may I ask what are the food you've been feeding your pet because mine is not eating and I'm so worried
my puppy just died yesterday, went into shock after an hour ate a little, then after 30min of sleeping/laying down and died from a seizure, this afternoon another puppy died from a seizure but much quicker. and another one today started acting similar to the first but atm she is laying down and currently fine and breathing but not so responsive. so far 2 out of the 5 puppies have died and 2 are weak, the other one is completely fine. they are also around 8 weeks old and the 2 that died were the smallest ones. 1 was the runt but survived until today and the other was also really small but not from birth
OMG I'm so sorry to hear about your sweetie pies. Are they eating? Did they pass from low blood sugar or was there some other issue? Try to get them to eat. It helps to soak their kibble in chicken broth. I hope the rest of them make it.
My dog is 3 years and 11 months old and yesterday at 12:30 am he got fits for the first time. And i got worried.
He both legs were shivering and head turned back and eyes rolled out and foam was coming from his mouth.
We pat him down and tried ice pack , after 3-4 mins he got normal.
Today is holiday in India so his vet is closed.
I am very worried 😢
I’m so sorry for your scary experience. That sounds like it could be a seizure. I hope your sweetie pie is ok 🙏🏻 I would take him to the vet as soon as possible 💕
Good to know
This video is amazing my dog look like it was having a seizure for almost 2 hours I bought this the first hour of the problem gave it to her it took 4 hours but she's better even took her to the animal hospital and they said this is probably what saved her
I’m so glad you found the video in time to save your precious sweetie pie ❤️
Need help.. My 2 months old puppy have same as yours. And if that happens to him he shout in pain. what should I do?? I can't afford that nutritional gel 😭😭. it cost 1,500php in Philippines. 😭😭
pls reply 🙏🙏🙏😭
😭😭
You can use Karo syrup or honey
Hello we have a 4 year old Pomeranian and Chihuahua mix, A month ago he had a seizure in the morning when we woke him up to go to work. He did nearly the exact same thing that puppy is doing now in the video but he did Pee himself and drool. We freaked out because this is never happened before took him to the vet the next day, and the vet had ruled it as a seizure. We are taking him for a blood test and it came back clean. Next step would be to get an MRI for $3000 we don’t have. He went a month after that incident without a seizure and about a week ago now he has had One a day at least for the last five days usually always when he wakes up from sleeping. We have been giving him VET CBD oil he hopes to not have to use prescription medication but it does not seem to be doing much. Could low blood sugar be at hand? Our little boy really doesn’t eat that much but his appetite does seem a lot different. Thank you for the video!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
Thanks. My dog just had this
Is he ok now?
How would you know the difference between this and a seizure?
Poor little angel.
My dog has Epilepsy and she has many seizures thank you for this video 🐶
Awe 😢 I’m so sorry to hear that.
How he recovered?
Will a puppy cry if a puppy has low blood sugar? Does it cause pain? Does low blood sugar cause low platelets?
My puppy has been sick since Nov. We have been crying a lot. She has seen 6 different doctors in two different hospitals...they can not find anything wrong with her. She has been thru many tests, blood work, xrays, even a very expensive CT scan...everything negative.
They did discover she has low blood sugar and low platelets. But, no doctor has been able to pinpoint why her platelets are low...what is causing that.
We miss our sweet 3 lb puppy who is 9 months old TODAY, but she is not with us to celebrate. We live in GA, I had to fly my puppy to UT (I flew with my puppy, dropped her off and turned around immediately and went back home to GA). My puppy is there to see another doctor to see if they can discover what is wrong. I left her there with a friend of mine, a breeder.
I appreciate your answering my questions if you know the answers. We are so worried for our baby girl.
CMV Robison sometimes a puppy will cry when they have low blood sugar but not always. In your puppies case it doesn’t sound to me like low blood sugar because normally low blood sugar worsens until they are completely catatonic like this puppy was in my video. Have the vets found anything wrong with her? Also what food is she eating?
Thank you for the video
Mine had lunch start of the game because he treated shampoo and then we have to take him to the doctor now they are taking care of him
I've got a chihuahua and he has seizures. So I rubb the right side of his neck and that helps him come out of it .
OMG so scary 😮
So why are mine doing this not enough sugar... or too much...
I wonder if they have glucagon kits for veterinary use in small animals? I have only had it when hypoglycemic seizures set in.
Just took my pup to the vet all it took was sugar dissolved in water with a syringe and 5 min later he was back to normal
Hello! I have a six week old puppy who refuses to eat if it isn’t directly from her mama. Mother dog is starting to lose interest in pups ever since they grew teeth, so I have decided to wean them off by feeding them kibble soaked in formula or wet food. All the puppies have no issue eating from bowl but this puppy does struggle. However, when it is directly from mom she eats the most. She is at a very good weight too so I know it isn’t that she is sick. She has reached all the milestones before her litter mates except for the feeding transition. I have bought her nutrical and gave it to her as the instructions indicated, but I still wonder about specifics. The instructions say 1/4 TSP for every 10 pounds. If the puppy is under 4 pounds do I still give them the 1/4? I can’t seem to find the answers ANYWHERE despite searching it up everywhere. I wonder why they don’t specify it anywhere or why anyone else hasn’t had this question…
I wouldn’t give her Nutrical unless she needs it. As long as she’s eating and has energy, she doesn’t need the extra calories from the Nutrical. If she goes all day refusing to eat and you can’t coax her to eat any dinner either, then just before bedtime I would give her a small dollop of Nutrical. I just give a fingertip full (about the size of a regular pencil eraser). You don’t earn the opposite to happen and her to become hyperglycemia which happens when their blood sugar goes too high.
If she’s healthy, she should start eating solid food on her own. Since she does when it’s from moma, I suspect it’s more of a spoiled trait from a smart process who knows she can eventually get her mama to give her food 😅
Wishing her the very best
@@SweetiePiePets Thank you so much for this, I had no idea about hyperglycemia! Scary stuff! What happens if that were to happen? I’m going to stop giving it to her unless I see she’s not eating anything, I’d just like to know the risk. And yeah, she’s a little spoiled haha. Hopefully she gets the hang of eating by herself soon.
Why or how does the low blood sugar happen, for our little ones to experience this? Thank you for this video!
Love blood sugar occurred when your puppy hasn’t consumed enough calories to keep their blood sugar level stable. It can happen very quickly so owners of small dogs need to monitor food intake closely. Small puppies should eat a little food every 3-4 hours, even through the night.
Hard to watch, and listen to your words, but so informative and helpful. I have a 4 month old Chihuahua, Chester. He has, thank the Universe, no issues, but on reading up on the breed (as I’ve always had terriers before) there was a recommendation to keep Karl Syrup on hand, which I immediately did. With all the experience I have seen from your videos I will purchase the product you showed (hopefully available here in Scotland). I cannot thank you enough for making your viewers aware of this, such specific details of signs, and what to immediately do, with hope. I hope no one comments negatively on this - why did you take time out to video? why did you show something that is SO [which it CERTAINLY isn’t] graphic? To any of you thinking that, think again. This is such IMPORTANT need to know information.
Thank you from my whole being for giving something so positively life- saving to have in my/our arsenal for my/our pets health.
I’m so excited to talk to a second viewer from Scotland 🏴 Another of my viewers lives in Edinburgh with her adorable little boy named Dempsey ❤️ I always tell her I hope to come visit some day!
Many, many people have thanked me for this video and several even told me it saved their dog’s life so that’s enough for me to ignore any negative comments. Also I had already administered one dose of Nutrical before grabbing my husband and the camera to administer the second dose 5 minutes later.
Welcome to my channel and thanks for taking time to leave your comment. If Nutrical isn’t available there, Karo syrup works just fine.
My 3 month old yorkie is presenting these symptoms and it’s been over 8 hours. How long does it last. I’ve been using your method and no improvement. 2lbs
This should not last 8 hours. Take your yorkie to the vet asap.
SHE IS SO 😍
i am getting my new chihuahua in a few days...this video honest to god scared me. should i carry this with me when i am out with my chihuhua? are they prone to this...im going to research and ask other people.
The tinies are more prone to hypoglycemia simply because they do not carry enough energy on their frame to sustain them for hours at a time without eating. That’s why it’s important to feed them small meals often throughout the day. So long as yours is a good eater and eats every few hours, he should be fine and not get hypoglycemia. But sometimes when they are stressed, their appetite is repressed and they don’t eat enough to sustain themselves. Yes, I recommend have a Nutrical with you just in case because it’s amazing how quickly they can go from seemingly normal to suddenly having hypoglycemia. I just had one yesterday.
My adult chihuahua did something weird yesterday one minute she was fine and then out of the blue she jerks her front leg up and starts head shaking and chomping, I thought she had gotten her foot stuck in her collar but by the time I could check she was fine and it's like it never even happened, I don't know what happened but it only lasted all of maybe 5 seconds max 😟🤔, it absolutely scared the living daylights out of me
That's so strange, I wonder what happened. Something must have either hurt her or startled her or maybe she just had a little hitch in her giddyup. I'm glad it didn't last long but I'd definitely keep an eye on her to watch and make sure it doesn't happen again. If it does, try to catch it on video so you can show a veterinarian. Hopefully it never happens again though. Glad she's OK. hugs
I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my sisters 3 year old apple head chihuahua (she's only had for 4 months) and I'm leaning towards this, however are there lessor forms of this? When the dog is eating he tends to get tired as well as timid after eating and hides out in his basket. Even after giving the dog treats. Then he randomly goes through bouts every week or so where he's sick doesn't eat and may throw up as well. My sister has taken it to the vets twice, I'm not sure what exactly is checked (I think the first time they did an xray of his stomach), but I'm certain the vet is missing something. The dog typically has loose stools. He goes through periods of time were he's sick and won't eat and other times where the dog is constantly hungry and can't be satiated (and even eats his own poop, which apparently isn't overly uncommon?)
This is possibly unrelated, but particularly when he goes outside at night, he's hesitant to come back inside. He looks at us like he's no longer familiar with us and not sure if he can trust us (none of us have ever yelled at or mistreated him, but it's possible his previous owners did?). Or maybe it's his vision and he's trying to make us out. He goes through constant bouts of being comfortable and being afraid. He'll come on the couch with me and sit on my lap and then shortly thereafter he'll be timid and hesitant of whether or not he trusts me or my sister or my dad. He spends most of the time hiding in his basket. It may simply have something to do with the bred or perhaps his past (which we don't have any insight to)? But aside from that there's something health wise that isn't right. he'll be on the couch with me in an air conditioned house and without exercise or anything will open his mouth and go into an unusual pant. The dog will also have bouts of coughing. I don't understand why the vet comes up empty.
So sorry to hear about his struggles. Sounds to me like he’s in pain. I would have the vet check his stool for parasites too. Parasites such as coccidia and Giardia can upset the stomach and mess with their appetite. Best of luck to him and to you guys 🙏🏻
Can you also use Karo syrups
Lizzylou I have heard other people saying they use Karo syrup but I have never tried it. I would say if you find your puppy in hypoglycemic shock, use anything you have on hand to raise his blood sugar. Syrup probably has high sugar content
She's so damn cute awww
My 12 year old Shihtzu had a seizure or something last night. His head went back like that and he was crying. I thought he died. I shook him and gently squeezed his chest and he came around. I saw this video and gave him maple syrup which he liked. He seemed a little better. Then I fed him his favorite snack, cheese. I'll call the vet tomorrow. The ER vets around here are sketchy...but I'd have taken him if he didn't seem better. He hadn't eaten his food ( or anything I'd offered) and we'd been for a walk. He's a crazy fussy eater.
I’m so sorry to hear about your sweetie pie’s scary episode. I’m glad you found the video about low blood sugar. It does sound like it could have been that since he’s such a fussy eater and also because he seems better after eating. I with you and him the very best 🙏🏻♥️
@@SweetiePiePets thank you! 🙂🙂
My newborn puppy is just in the corner all alone
She won’t eat
Her tongue is super pale n she’s cold
Newborns must be kept warm. I use heating pads on low with a towel on top and make sure there's no way mama could bite the cord to electrocute herself. If she's a newborn, she's too young for Nutri-Cal and needs only mama's milk or milk replacement from a bottle. You can also tube feed if she won't nurse or take a bottle. Newborns can't go longer than a few hours without milk. Good luck to you and your sweetie pie!
My little is haveing one right now just gsve him some honey just have to wait and see ,,,, poor scobby doo
yo I’m not gna lie thought he was playing sleep to be pet lol
I wish 😩
My two dogs are doing the same thing how long dose that last for causes I'm worried about my dogs
Oh my goodness somehow I missed your message before. The Nutrical is only a temporary supplement. If your dog continues to behave this way even after receiving enough Nutra Cal to raise her blood sugar, there must be some other problem. Good luck to you and your fur babies!
@@SweetiePiePets I think he might mean I's this only during puppyhood or the entire lifetime?
What should l give the Puppy if l don't have 😳
Desi Hicks Karo syrup also works to raise blood sugar.
swapfell sans or sugar water
😢
Can you use honey,? If there blood sugars drop?
evie jmky squad yes honey works as well.
I have a teddy bear morkie and I found out about this at the vet 3 days after I adopted my puppy at 8wks .. the vet told me to just give karo syrup and I was with honey from time to time my pup had not had a episode in few weeks up until yesterday so I foot dashed the tomlyn nutrical but I think I bought the wrong one I didn’t get the pup one is that ok?? Will it still work for my Gigi ?? Please help
Yes the puppy version ot the dog version is fine. Either one works the same
I have epilepsy mate i never get panicked from this
Is this can also happen on senior chihuahua? My 9 year old chi have this, but We feed her honey, is that ok?
Yes any aged dog can get low blood sugar from not absorbing enough calories. Honey is a good alternative. I hope she is ok ❤️
how sad😔
What causes low blood sugar in dogs? Can dogs get diabetes?
Not getting enough calories is the cause of low blood sugar. Yes dogs can get diabetes as well so just like with people, it’s important to keep their weight within a healthy range.
We dont have nutrical gel her in philipines .what other best option?my shih tzu is 5weeks old now
Sheila Plaza no problem. Nutrical is basically a high sugar paste. You can use syrup or honey in a similar fashion. Keep in mind the baby needs to get her calories from healthy food. The sugar is just in case she doesn’t eat enough food to maintain a healthy blood sugar level. Congratulations on your new baby. 😍
My puppy is still drinking milk and he have hypoglycemia . My puppy dont like dont like to eat any food solid .im worry becoz she is so weak but she drink milk and i put only sugar
Sheila Plaza it’s common for them to not want to eat solid food. So I recommend to chop up some boiled chicken into tiny pieces, put them on a plate, put the plate on the floor and then YOU get down on the floor with your head by the plate and baby talk the puppies. I’m not sure if that works with Shih Tzu puppies but it works almost every time with shy chihuahuas who are too scared to eat.
hi! my mix breed shiranian (Shih tzu x pomeranian) just had hypoglycemic i think? she will have that for a couple of minutes and then be back to normal. DO you think its hypoglycemic ? please help! :( she doesnt eat much too, if you can suggest any wet food that works for her please help me :(
What you did was amazing if i had a cat or a dog i will get that stuff
Do you have any alternative products that is available here in the Philippines?
Anything with sugar. You can even use syrup
Panic? I start crying
She is ok now. It’s a good thing to keep Nutrical on hand so it can be quickly dealt with
Corn syrup works to
Yes, it does.
My 7 or 8 month old puppy does something similar she is either a medium or large breed we got her from the shelter so we don’t really know but she does something very similar except her eyes are in the back of her head like she is asleep and it usually only happens as far as I know when she asleep. She comes out of it but idk what to do or what it is please help.
Hi Alicia Hayhope I'm sorry to hear that your little sweetie pie is having these health concerns. What you describe might be more serious than low blood sugar. I would take her to your trusted veterinarian asap. Best of luck 😟🙏🏻
OMG earlier today I was so scared because I think my dog ate my pill (Metformin 1000mg) I lost from my pocket. My sis said it looked like a seizure, while we were on FaceTime. At first I thought she was sneezing constantly but I seen her two front arms kind of crippled and she was shaking but stiff.. no foam came out her mouth.
That sounds very scary. Is she better now? If she ate your medicine she probably needs to go to the emergency room.
@@SweetiePiePets yes, she’s fine now very active an alert today. She has no known health issues so I’m sure she may have found my medicine & it caused her sugar to drop
Where do you get this gel at exactly? I have a dog that's a Jack Russell Chihuahua and Boston terrier mix, and he has had one episode like this before his sugar had dropped so we got him out of it but I need to know where we get the gel at so that I can get it for him just in case. Thanks I appreciate it.
I’ve got NutriCal in my Amazon store: www.Amazon.com/shop/sweetiepiepets
Good luck with your sweetie pie ❤️
Isn't he just a cute little tiny bean?
Is this the same thing as when the newborn gets really stiff and hard
My boxer had 10 puppy’s and so far 2 ended up not making it and one is having trouble sucking on the mom’s milk
One of the one’s that didn’t make it got stiff so I was winding if this would help the 3rd one if it ever got stiff
Their all 3 days old
FluxnGaming I’m so sorry to hear about your babies who didn’t make it. It’s difficult to know for sure why the baby got stiff but it could likely have been low blood sugar, yes. Newborns must latch on to mammas milk constantly and if they miss even one or two feedings, that can be deadly. Sometimes when there are so many in a litter, the weaker ones need assistance latching on. It’s instinctual for all of the babies to fight for the nipple (I like to call it the faucet) and generally a mamma only had 6 or 8 of those faucets. So with 10 babies, there would always be a few babies left without access which makes it easy to miss a feeding. Missing a feeding makes the baby even weaker and therefore much more like to miss the next feeding as they won’t be able to compete with their stronger siblings. I recommend to remove the strong babies (temporarily) and keep them warm in a separated container while you assist the weaker babies to latch on. Each baby needs a hearty 10-15 minute suckle session every hour or 2! Generally if you can get the newborns thriving within the first three days, they won’t need as much help after that. Sometimes it’s a sleepless job. Congratulations on your sweetie pies 😍
Sweetie Pie Pets thank you and I gave her the same supplement as you did and she started moving more but after a while she will go back to being limped. I haves moved the other ones every so often I also help her get milk even tho she doesn’t want to keep her head up. Is it ok to give her puppy formula for newborns and after a while can I give her the supplement
FluxnGaming if she won’t latch on by herself you’ll have to help. They must drink vigorously. I tiny attempt won’t be enough to sustain her. Yes I recommend to start her on formulas immediately and continue trying to get her to latch on. Good luck 🙏🏻
Sweetie Pie Pets ok thank you she was cold but now she is warming up and I’ve started feeding her formula and giving her the green supplement every so often to make up for her low blood and lack of mama milk 🙂
FluxnGaming awesome, I hope she makes it 🙏🏻
It's a puppy... :(
Does this only happen to puppies? Also, does it only happen when they don’t eat or can it happen randomly?
Mongooseodon it’s most prevalent in puppies but even adults can have it. It happens if they go too long without eating. Chihuahuas are a small dog and they don’t carry enough energy on their frame to sustain them for a long time span. They have to eat small meals often throughout the day, especially as puppies 🐶❤️
I have a 5 year old teacup yorkie that just started having low sugar seizures, is it best to sprinkle a little sugar in his kibble? Also can I mix pedialyte with water for him to drink?
pammish11 I’m so sorry to hear about your sweetie pie. So yes, pedialyte is safe and he can drink that any time. I wouldn’t put sugar in his food though. If he is eating often enough then his blood sugar should be stable so It’s important to figure out why he has suddenly begin getting low blood sugar and hopefully be able to fix the problem. Either the food he’s currently eating does not have the right nutritional balance for him, or possibly he has decided he doesn’t like the taste of it and simply isn’t eating enough. The NutriCal is perfect as a quick fix to raise their blood sugar when it dips dangerously low but really it shouldn’t need to be a part of his every day adult diet. NutriCal works quickly - depending how low his blood sugar dips, it should be back within the normal range within an hour or 2 after receiving the Nutrical. But once their sugar levels are stable, it’s important they get their nutrition from a healthy kibble.
Have you tried Life’s Abundance? I recommend you try him on this one for a few months and see if his blood sugar stabilizes on it’s own. If so, you can stop worrying about adding sugar in his diet: lifesabundance.com/Pets/Puppy/PuppyFoodLargeBreed.aspx?realname=20614715&cat=0&hdr=&Ath=False&crt=0&Category=LargeBreedPuppyFood_v11(Pet_Base)&Sku=401306
