Hypoglycemia in Yorkshire Terriers
Hypoglycemia is completely preventable. It is much easier and cheaper to prevent hypoglycemia in yorkies than to treat it. When you first bring your yorkie puppy home, I strongly advise you to give your yorkie a palatable meal such as cooked chicken livers. A better option is to feed your Yorkshire terrier a small amount of stage 2 Gerber baby food Chicken and Gravy flavor. Check the label on the jar of baby food and make certain it contains no onion powder. Onions are toxic to yorkie puppies, and it could kill them! Your yorkie puppy should scarf this treat right down. Make sure your yorkie puppy eats every 3-4 hours, even if it is a small amount and even if you have to hand feed your yorkie pup.
Nutri-cal or Nutri-stat paste are wonderful for preventing hypoglycemia. I recommend using 3-5 times a day, especially first thing in the morning, after playtime and before bed. Just squeeze about 1/2 of an inch of paste on your finger and rub on the roof of your yorkies mouth. Nutri-cal and Nutri-stat can be found at Petco or Wal-Mart for about . A yorkie puppy experiencing hypoglycemia is very scary and may exhibit one or more of the following signs:
1. The gums of a normal Yorkshire terrier will be bright red or pink just like human gums. Gums that are pale in places (whitish spots) or light pink may indicate that your Yorkshire terriers blood sugar is dropping. Gums that are white, your puppy needs quick attention to avoid hypoglycemic coma.
When the Yorkshire terrier puppies gums are pale pink or pink in spots you may give your yorkie Nutri-cal to restore your puppies blood sugar. If you do not have Nutri-cal on hand, you can use Karo's syrup, honey or pancake syrup to raise your yorkies sugar level.
2. Another sign that may be seen is your yorkie vomiting greenish or clear bile. Foamy saliva may also appear at your yorkie puppies mouth. These symptoms usually go hand in hand with your yorkie puppy not eating for awhile. You need to give your yorkie Nutri-cal, and then a protein based food as fast as possible.
3. More signs are: acting lethargic and listless, walking unsteady as if they were drunk, falling over, shakiness and even laying on their side and being unresponsive. This is an EMERGENCY and your pup must be given some type of sugar immediately!
After giving a form of sugar, wrap your puppy in a blanket to keep them warm. If a heating pad or electric blanket is available, set it to low and use it to help warm up your yorkie puppy. Wait 5 or 10 minutes for your yorkie to perk up. If there is no improvement, administer more sugar. When your yorkie puppy perks up give them a protein based meal so their blood sugar can level out.
EMERGENCY SITUATION: Take your yorkie for sale to a vet immediately if you see no signs of improvement or responsiveness, or if your Yorkshire puppy appears comatose. Rush to the vet for a glucose injection or an I.V to save their life!
