I REPOST THIS ALL THE TIME AS SO IMPORTANT BEFORE TAKING HOME ONE OF OUR BABIES OR ANY TOY BREED PUPPY YOU MUST EDUCATE YOURSELF ON HYPOGLYCEMIA.......
READ...READ...READ....READ....Everyone must read this before bringing home their new Chihuahua...Some inexperienced Vets with tinies are letting pups die or putting them to sleep ..saying they are hydro when they are only sugar crashing.."SOME" vets do not know how to treat or recognize this in small dogs....so you must read this before buying one...The Dangers of Hypoglycemia in Small Dogs and How to Prevent It

Puppy hypoglycemia occurs in young puppies, more commonly toy breeds, that cannot yet maintain their blood glucose levels. It can even occur in adult toy breeds. When puppies transition to their new homes this can be EXTREMELY stressful for them and in times of stress puppies can experience hypoglycemia LOW BLOOD SUGARS.

The hypoglycemia can become severe and require hospitalization. Unfortunately, if not addressed quickly, it can lead to hypothermia, seizures, and death.

The best way to avoid this is by feeding a high quality diet every 3-4 hours. High quality diet means high quality canned diet, commercial raw, human grade dehydrated diet or commercial fresh diet, or vet approved Homemade diets. If you have to use kibble choose one without corn and loads of cheap fillers and add homecooked as toppers,or Honest Kitchen, etc. Some tinies require small meals every two hours. With our puppies we leave access to food and water 24/7. However, it's important to ensure puppies are eating and not just leave meals and not follow closely.

Symptoms of hypoglycemia include: severe weakness, tremors, shaking, confusion, vomiting, anorexia and ultimately seizures. If these symptoms occur give sugar IMMEDIATELY in the form of karo syrup and get your puppy to the ER vet ASAP. Honey is contraindicated in puppies younger then a year as can cause botulism.

Save the nutrical for emergencies. It SHOULD NOT be given as a regular supplement as it causes spikes in glucose which results in insulin release from the pancreas thus causing blood glucose levels to be irregular and possible crashes.

Hypoglycemia for small dogs is one of the most dangerous and deadly conditions that a toy breed puppy can encounter. I’ve seen too many cases where a new owner is not properly educated about hypoglycemia in small dogs, and the puppy dies because the owner did not know what to do. This post does not only apply to puppies, but adult toy breed dogs as well. Hypoglycemia can occur in adult dogs if you are not careful. I feel this is THE most important piece of information that any new owner should have when it comes to a puppy’s health. It should be MANDATORY that anybody thinking of buying a toy breed dog read this article before they bring their puppy home. It could save you dog’s life! This is why our babies stay here until at least 12 weeks old..TINIES DO NOT LEAVE OUR HOME UNTIL AT LEAST 16 TO 20 WEEKS.

First off, Hypoglycemia is basically a term that describes a condition in a dog where the concentration of glucose (sugar) suddenly drops. Glucose is used as a primary source of energy in all dogs. Small breed dogs, especially puppies, are extremely prone to this condition. The younger the puppy the more chances they have of becoming hypoglycemic. On a side not, I do not recommend buying a puppy from any breeder that releases their pups earlier than 12 weeks of age. 1 Small breed puppies obviously have less muscle mass than a breed such as a Labrador. When I mention small breeds, I’m referring to dogs such as Yorkies, Shih Tzu’s, Chihuahua’s, Pomeranians, etc. With the low amount of muscle mass that these breeds have, retaining proper glucose levels is tougher. This is why smaller dogs are more susceptible to hypoglycemia.

As long as your puppy or dog eats on a regular basis they should not have any troubles with this deadly condition. However, if your puppy even misses one meal, they could fall victim to hypoglycemia. Furthermore, the following could speed up the onset of hypoglycemia even further:

1.Stress

2.Change in diet

3.Infections

4.Poor Nutrition

5.Low body temperature.
6. Vaccinations in large combos.( one vaccine at a time find holistic vet that will give partial doses and then titer test.)
The signs to look out for if you suspect your dog to becoming hypoglycemic are: laziness, lethargic, shivering,vomiting, non-responsive, stumbling, and worst of all, comatose. Checking your dog’s gums is also an excellent method in detecting hypoglycemia. A healthy dog should have warm and pink gums. If your dog’s gums are cold and white, they are most likely in a hypoglycemic state. If you notice your dog experience any of these symptoms, IMMEDIATELY feed them a couple finger full doses of glucose karo syrup on gums.There are some products that you can buy that are made for this purpose, such as Nutri-Stat or Nutra-Cal. I use Karo Syrup which you can find in your local grocery store. Simply place a dab on your finger tip, and scrape the syrup on the back of the top row of teeth. I would repeat this a couple times. Some dogs may recover within 10 -20 minutes, while others may take hours. If you do not see any improvement in their condition within the first 30 minutes, immediately take your dog to the animal hospital.
7. Transition to new home
Raising a smaller dog should be a very fun and rewarding experience. With some proper education beforehand, the process will go a lot smoother and ensure that your puppy grows up healthy. Just remember that hypoglycemia can be prevented by:

1. Keeping a close eye on your puppy’s condition at all times

2. Proper feeding healthy balanced diet and ensuring puppy eats small meals every few hours

3. Proper rest
4. Being kept warm.
5. Avoid overvaccination no large combo vaccines no leptosporosis vaccines. 6. NO USE IF FLEA PESTICIDES ..plenty of holistic options. SEEK A HOLISTIC VET WILLING TO PARTIAL DOSE And titer test.With this information, you should be properly guarded against your dog falling victim to hypoglycemia.

WANT TO SHARE AN EXAMPLE.....happened a few weeks ago to a family I spoke to. A perfectly healthy pup leaves the breeder, goes about 6 weeks, undergoing several changes including food over that time frame, owner does not notice pup is not eating as much, and wake up in the morning with the pup unconsciously and cold.

Ultimately the baby couldn’t be saved, and the vet speculated that hydrocephalus or livershunt may have contributed, giving VALIDATION to the hundreds in testing that they charged while trying to identify “the root” of the problem. In the end, they have cashed in on the new parent’s lack of knowledge, and given foundation to their costly investigation process, writing off blood sugar as a secondary symptom, thereby justifying the bill, and their inability to save a pup who “likely had more going on”.

There are different ways this presents, but I assure you, if parents are made aware of the issues and are quick to act, they will never fall victim to misleading medical speculation after tragedy.”

Hopefully this has served to help at least save 1 life as hypoglycemia kills way too many puppies. By sharing knowledge and education on how to prevent it, recognize symptoms of it , and emergency treatment we can save many heartaches.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE, IM GONNA BUY MYSELF A DOG AND MAKE 50K BREEDING😂 MAKE SURE TO CHECK THIS LIL LIST⁉️⁉️
1. Can you take 20k and throw it off a bridge 🤷🏻‍♂️ with a 50% chance you might get back 30k and a 50% chance you lose it all?
2. How much do you really like cleaning 💩??Really think on this one- on the days you are sick, had a long day, depressed, you ready to deal with it because their are NO days off.
3. Are you ready to persevere and keep going when you lose the dog closest to your💔 heart?
4. Do you have 4-6 hours per day for the enrichment of your dogs? (Keep in mind this goes up with every dog you add)
5. Can you afford anywhere from 500-5k vet bill at any given moment? We just had one this last month for 7k, not including emergency visit!
6. Are you available to cycle all of your dogs for outside time when a female is in heat so a fight does not break out?
7. Do you love the sound of puppys whining? Don’t forget that new litter you couldn’t wait for needs to be fed every 3 hours on the dot. Team no sleep.
8. Can you afford $1000+ a month in miscellaneous dog expenses, food, treats, toys, bedding etc.?
9. Are you educated enough to take care of a litter that needs tube fed or has neonatal conjunctivitis? (Just examples, many things can go wrong with neonates- and quickly)
10. Are you ready to miss holidays and birthdays and other events with family and friends, because your dogs come first? Forget about a vacation.. what’s that?
This is just the BEGINNING of a list. If your in it for the 💰💸money just stop while your ahead.
We’ve taken L’s no one knows about because we don’t post them for sympathy.
We've invested more time, money, sweat and tears into these dogs than anything else.
It’s a lifestyle, not a come up.

I saw this saying yesterday and it absolutely resonated. A breeder who shows is going to know the correct structure to breed for, the necessary health testing, and always try to produce the best quality puppies. Just because you “only want a pet” doesn’t mean you shouldn’t inquire with breeders who show. And just because two champions were bred together, doesn’t mean the whole litter will be show dogs. Only the best of the best end up as show dogs…the rest will be placed in pet homes.
