Puppies and adult dogs that appear to be in a stupor or coma during a hypoglycemic attack should immediately be given sugar water or an oral concentrated solution of glucose, such as corn syrup or Nutri-Cal. Owners of toy breeds should have a glucose source readily available.
How do you prevent hypoglycemia in dogs?
Providing proper nutrition on a routine schedule is crucial. Small breed puppies should be fed three to four times a day. Ensure you're feeding a commercial puppy diet that is formulated for growth. As other ailments can predispose to hypoglycemia, any signs of illness must be attended to.
