This happened to Chico the first day that I had him because the breeder, who had at least six different types of dogs to choose from, (can we say puppy mill/backyard breeder, my only excuse is that I was uneducated at that time and I am very glad that I rescued my baby from this horrible man) sold him to me with hook worms. His blood sugar not only dropped but his potasium levels did too. He started having seizures and I rushed him to the ER and they saved him but the vet told me that he had the worms for a while because it takes a while for the potasium to drop that low. He has had one other hypglycimic fit since but luckily I knew what to do that time and I always keep honey around the house just in case.
