I brought Desi Blue home from the breeder's on Thursday night. By Friday morning, all was not well - Desi was not able to stand. Luckily, I had Desi at work with me (I work at a Vet's). Desi was suffering from hypoglycemia - low blood sugar. During the day on Friday, I fed him by syringe every 2 hours. I have Desi at home now and am feeding him by syringe every 3 hours around the clock. Please pray that he lives!! I think that the breeder should have kept him another couple of weeks or so with his mama. However, I know, that if I had not bought him when I did, that he would be on his way to a Pet Store and would most likely be dead by now. Please pray. Nancy. I soooooooooo want this pup to be ok.
Good luck! Keep some Karo Syrp on hand, and check his gums often to make sure they have color and that when you press them, the color returns within 2 seconds (CRT)! I had to do the same with a 3 week old chi mix that was abandoned at our hospital for quite some time. With hard work and lots of love your little one will pull through and love you forever =) -Nate
Nancy I'm so glad Desi is in your hands I will pray for your little sweet baby.Please keep me posted I want to make sure that Desi is getting better. Hang in there Michelle
