Hyperglycemia & bad food

Hyperglycemia

When a puppy gets a bit too much exercise it can become stressed out, they might seem unable to stand or listen. This usually means that they have a low blood sugar problem. Like all toy dog puppies, you can solve that problem with a quick trip to the vet or by dropper/spoon feeding your dog some sugar water, NutriCal or any good high calorie dietary supplement. We suggest you keep some NutriCal around at all times. It is essential that you treat this problem right away by giving your pup the supplement or sugar water. Otherwise they can go into shock. Remember that your puppy needs to take time for feeding and rest. 

You shouldn't take a young Puppy jogging with you! If you're planning more than just a short walk around a short block, leave your pet at home. The same applies to play time or long rides in a vehicle. DO NOT OVER-PLAY WITH YOUNG PUPS. Inform any children in the house that over-playing with the pup can cause it to become very sick. Limit the time a puppy spends in a vehicle (especially in high or low temperature zones). Long road trips or rides can stress out a puppy and expose him or her to unnecessary health risk.


Always practice responsible ownership!

Bad food

CHOCOLATE, GRAPES, AVOCADO, XYLITOL

This is toxic to animals and should never be fed to your dog under any circumstances. Avocado is the main ingredient in guacamole. Xylitol is found in most popular gum brands.

ONIONS

Can cause Hemolytic anemia, labored breathing, liver damage, vomiting, and diarrhea.

MACADAMIA NUTS AND OTHER TYPES OF NUTS

These can cause bladder stones due to the high phosphorus  content.

MILK AND DAIRY

Since dogs do not have the needed lactase to break up the lactose the result can be diarrhea. 

TOMATOES

Tomato plants as well as the actual tomato are highly dangerous to dogs. Ingesting a tomato or any part of the plant  can lead to tremors and heart arrhythmia.

RAW EGGS AND FISH

An enzyme called avidin which is found in raw eggs causes hair and skin problems along with the possibility of Salmonella poisoning. Raw fish has been known to cause a thiamine deficiency. As a result the dog will suffer from seizures and possibly death.
