Food and water should be available to your puppy at all times until he or she is 6 months
old then feed twice daily. If your puppy is being shipped they will be given Nutri-Cal
before they are shipped. You should give them some after they arrive. We also recommend
giving them a jar of chicken baby food to help keep their blood sugar level.
HYPOGLYCEMIA
This is the scientific name for a condition where the sugar level suddenly drops in a small
animals system. The first signs of this problem is usually staggering and falling over as
though they are drunk. Or they can be observed lying on their side paddling with their
front feet as though they are swimming. If these symptoms are observed, you must act
very quickly in order to save your puppy's life. YOU HAVE TO GET THE SUGAR
LEVEL UP TO BRING THE PUPPY OUT OF THIS SITUATION. AND IT
MUST BE DONE VERY QUICKLY.
Usually you do not have time to get them to a Vet before they suffer irreparable damage.
Nutri-Cal is the best remedy for this situation. But if this is not available, use Karo
syrup or anything that is super sweet. If you don't have any of this on hand, then run
about an inch of water in a coffee cup and stir in 2 or 3 teaspoons of sugar and stir quickly
until it dissolves. Then you must get some of this mixture into the puppy. At this point,
you will find the puppy clinchs it's mouth shut and will not lap it up on its own. By
inserting a finger in the corner of the puppy's mouth you can pry it open far enough to get a
fingertip covered with honey into its mouth. Or in the case of the sugar water, an
eyedropper, straw, or even dropping it through the opening in the mouth one-drop at a time
from a spoon. Once the puppy gets a good taste of the sweet substance, it will usually
start licking its tongue out and will start to recover in a very short time. Please note that
if it was necessary to use Karo syrup, this mixture is also a natural laxative. Do not be
surprised if diarrhea should follow when relieving it's self. If your puppy is experience
episodes of hypoglycemia, it is usually a sign that it is not taking in enough food or it has
an underlying problem that may need medical attention. Sometimes, this problem can be
corrected by just stirring in a teaspoon of sugar to the puppy's water supply daily until the
episodes subside.
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is a health problem that affects many toy breeds of
puppies between 5 and 16 weeks of age, especially but not always limited to extremely tiny
dogs. Hypoglycemia is recognized by a healthy puppy suddenly becoming weak, listless,
depressed, unaware of its surroundings, and even unable to stand or walk. Advanced
stages include seizures before lapsing into a coma, which is sometimes followed by death.
If your puppy becomes hypoglycemic, it is very important that you react
IMMEDIATELY!!!
Keep the puppy warm at all times and rub the puppy very easy, moving the head from side
to side slowly rotating it, also move the arms and legs so the puppy will not get stiff. It
may be necessary to give the puppy a couple of doses. If the puppy does not respond with
in 3 to 5 min., GET IT TO A VET IMMEDIATELY! Hypoglycemia can occur without
warning if a puppy is placed in a new home, misses a meal or is otherwise stressed. You
must remember that puppies eat very small amounts, yet they exert large amounts of
energy. Your puppy should eat 3 times a day. DO NOT CHANGE THE FOOD FOR
THE FIRST FEW WEEKS. If you wish to change food later do so gradually, after the
puppy has adjusted to its new home and life. Remember that if there is a problem with
Hypoglycemia, it will usually happen during the first few weeks while the puppy is
adjusting, and that puppy will outgrow this as it becomes adjusted.
Stages of Hypoglycemia:
FIRST STAGE:
Possible Signs are: Not playful, Refuses to eat, PALE GUMS, LETHARGY *Eyes look
unusual (stumbling, falling, staggering)
SECOND STAGE: (Critical, seek Vet care)
Body becomes limp. Puppy can not lift his head easily
THIRD STAGE: They becomes completely limp, the head may tilt backward and become
stiff, Slow Heartbea, Body Temp, Drops Mouth is stiff and gums become white.
We recommend that you not leave your puppy alone for the first 48 hours so that you can
monitor his food and water intake. This will combat any dehydration or hypoglycemia.
After the first 24 hours continue monitoring food and water intake. We also recommend
giving your new puppy at least 1 to 2 tbs. of can puppy food 3 cc of Nutri Cal before bed
and first thing in the morning as this would be the times they would most likely stress.
You may even want to put some sugar in their water. Most important if they are is not
eating find something they will eat such as: Baby food chicken, boiled chicken, can dog
food. In some cases you may have to force feed them. Please call your vet if this is the case
and then your breeder.
If your puppy is not eating, has diarrhea, or is vomiting contact your vet or me
immediately! Do not let your puppy play on the ground outside until they have had all
their shots. They may pick up an illness that could cost them their life! (ie Parvo virus)
The treatment for parvo can cost any where from $200 to $1,000 it cost only $20 to $40 to
have your vet protect him with a shot. Remember they are not safe until 2 weeks after they
have had all three shots. So PLEASE keep them off the dirt, out of Petsmart, dpg parks
etc. They can even get it at the vet so dont let them touch the floor and bring a blanket to
put over the table... you just never know who was in there before you were. If your vets
office is dirty... look for a new vet!!!
Do not let your puppy jump off couches, chairs or any other high place. Their little bones
and knees can't take the stress.
Do NOT forget to keep up with your puppy's shots she or he must have them all for them
to protect him. I give Galaxy DA2ppv at 8, 10, and 12 weeks IF they are big enough. Don't
forget to get their Rabies shots should be given at 16 weeks or later depending on size.
Your puppy should also be wormed continuously each month as outbreaks may occur or
reoccur. If your puppy has long hair please remember to keep his bottom shaved or
trimmed. Some times the stool can get caught in the hair and keep your puppy from being
able to go potty.
This can cause serious problems and even death. Never leave your puppy or dog in your
car for any amount of time, even if the window is cracked. If you incur any problems with
your puppies health call, your vet and your breeder immediately! Vets are on call 24 hours a

Puppy care sheet...
Treat your new puppy as you would a new born baby. We recommend
that you try to make the first few days together with you puppy as calm
as possible, remember this is a very traumatic time for your puppy. A
puppy will play until it drops. It may play so much that it is too tired to
eat, especially be aware of the amount of time children play with your
puppy.
Beware of any changes in your puppies stool, stress can trigger
Coccidia. I feed my dogs the RAW DIET. My puppies are fed either
Canine Caviar, The Honest Kitchen's Thrive or Embark as well as
some ground raw meat... either beef or chicken.
If you are going to change your pup over to a new food, then do so
gradually. Some but not all puppies may need to be supplemented with
Nutri-Cal for the first few weeks. Be sure they eat every 6 hours.

COCCIDIA:
This is an "opportunist protozoon" that lives in the bowels of all dogs. Did you
understand that? ALL DOGS carry coccidia. But something has got to weaken the
immune system of an animal for the protozoa to have an opportunity to take hold and start
multiplying. That "something " is usually stress of one kind or another. A loose, stinky
stool that can even have streaks of bloody mucus in it usually accompanies coccidia. Some
Vets will explain coccidia to their clients by saying the animal is loaded with parasites.
This is sometimes interpreted by that client that the animal has worms. Coccidia is not
exactly a parasite but can be just as hard to get rid of. A daily supply of yogurt prevents
coccidia from getting a foothold as it keeps a good balance of bacteria in the G. I. tract.
So long as good bacteria exist in an ample supply in the gut, coccidia can not grow.

Coccidia is shed in the stool like a virus. If the animal is not shedding it when a stool
sample is taken, the animal can be misdiagnosed as being free of the protozoa. If your
puppy is put on antibiotics of any sort, feed yogurt to replenish the good bacteria that is
killed off by the antibiotic. It will in no way affect the antibiotic from completing its job
but may save your animal from secondary infections caused by an imbalance of good
bacteria. When coccidia does exist in the G. I. tract of your puppy, it can easily spread up
through the system and into the lungs and if unchecked, it can cause pneumonia and
eventually death. The first signs of coccidia is usually a lack of eating properly
accompanied by a loose stinky stool and sometimes escalating into bouts of hypoglycemia.
Coccidia can be transmitted to humans if hands are not washed and contaminated
utensils are handled improperly. Coccidia should never be allowed to progress to a point
that the puppy's life is threatened. If your puppy shows signs of this disease, immediately
seek professional advice and treatment,usually Albon is given.
Coccidia, Giardia and Kennel Cough:
These are 3 common things that can happen in young puppies,due to underdeveloped
immune systems. All 3 are easy to treat and does not mean your puppy is unhealthy. We
treat and vaccinate for these but your puppy still can get it. Stress also plays a role with
these conditions. We have done everything possible to help insure this doesn't happen,but
yet still can.

*Metro one pill will treat 15 pounds,smaller dogs or puppies will have to cut in half or
fourths .Really tiny puppies I suggest Safe-guard (Fenbendazole) first then once 3-4
pounds use Metro.

Nutri-Cal:
This is a dietary supplement that we insist all owners buy before picking up the puppy or
from us when we meet. It is a high calorie supplement for finicky eaters or puppies who
are not hungry due to the stress of being in a new environment. All puppies must consume
nutrition daily! Do not think that they can catch up the next day. The tiny ones cannot
go a day without! Nutri-Cal comes in a toothpaste sized bottle and easily squeezes out
so that you can place it on the puppy's tongue. Pups find the gel extremely tasty. One of
its main byproducts is corn syrup so it can also prevent the puppy from becoming
hypoglemic. NEVER CHANGE A NEW PUPPIES FOOD! This can cause stress and
they can get hypoglycemic from not wanted to eat. We are NOT liable for any of
problems listed above and are NOT covered in warranty as a congenital defect.This is
common care for any toy size puppy!
