Meet Duvalin
He was brought to us lateral and unresponsive—tiny (just over 1 lb) and dangerously hypoglycemic with a very low body temperature. After careful warming, IV dextrose, and supportive care, he spent two days hospitalized and made a full recovery.
Hypoglycemia can happen fast in very small puppies and kittens, especially toy breeds or the runts.
Watch for: wobbliness, weakness, crying, tremors, staring, collapse, or not waking to eat.
Prevention tips: frequent small meals, keep them warm/dry, don’t skip feedings, and seek veterinary care at the first sign of lethargy or refusal to eat.
We’re so proud of this little fighter—and grateful to his people for acting quickly.
