Consult a vet if your puppy shows signs of Kennel Cough. Kennel Cough can remain in the puppy's system anywhere from five days to several weeks. Hypoglycemia can occur in small breeds. Symptoms of Hypoglycemia are white gums, rolled up eyes, inability to stand up straight and seizures. The small breeds can get Hypoglycemia overnight.
Small breeds are very fragile, and can get sick quite easily, especially if they stop eating.
It is important that you give small breeds at least three to five feedings every day. This will ensure that the puppy will receive a steady stream of nutrients. Hypoglycemia occurs when puppies get stressed out and their blood sugar level drops below normal. Should your puppy become Hypoglycemic, a quick dose of Nutri-Cal or Karo syrup will put the blood sugar level back to normal. Place the puppy in a warm place and quickly consult a veterinarian.
