Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is a health problem that affects some toy breeds
of puppies between 5 and 16 weeks of age and all owners must be on the lookout for it. Hypoglycemia is reconizable by a healthy
puppy becoming weak, listless, unaware of its surroundings, even unable to walk or stand. Advanced stages include seizures
before lapsing into a coma, which is sometimes followed by death. Steps should be taken IMMEDIATELY to give the puppy
honey or Karo syrup. Administer the honey or syrup with an eyedropper or if the puppy is too weak to take the honey, let the
puppy lick it off of your fingers. Reguardless of how you do it, make the puppy take the honey or syrup, IT'S LIFE DEPENDS
ON IT !!, Toy breeds are susceptable to Hypoglycemia because they are very active. If you give your puppy
honey or syrup eveyday until it is 4 months old, you should not have a problem with Hypoglycemia. It only takes a few hours
for the puppy to go down, so do not forget it, honey or syrup EVERYDAY.
Your puppy should not be allowed to go more than 4 hours without
eating. This could result in death and we will not be held responsible for the death of a puppy due to Negligence. We or your
Veterinarian must be contacted immediately if your puppy is not eating.
There are a couple of ways to give it:
-
Mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 1/2 cup of water each day and let the puppy drink
it throughout the day.
-
Mix about a cup of creamy peanut butter and a tablespoon of honey. Store in a
jar in the refrigerator. Take a dab with your finger, roll it in a ball and give it to the puppy. If the puppy does not want
to eat it, put the peanutbutter ball on the roof of it's mouth and they absolutely cannot spit it out. Be careful not to give
to large a ball that the puppy might choke on.This is good for hypoglycemia and it is also great for the coat.
Once again, if you will be a responsible pet owner and give your puppy honey or
syrup EVERYDAY, you will not have a problem. If a problem does occur, do not hesitate to call....24 hours 7 days a week, (318)-995-7340.
Buying Puppies
As of 1-10-03 we no longer take PayPal.
The only form of payment we accept on pups that are shipped is Postal Money Order.
Shipping, health certificate, crate, etc. is the responsibility of
the puppy buyer and must be paid in full two weeks prior to shipping. If you see a puppy that you like and it is not old enough
to ship we will accept a deposit on the puppy with the balance paid in full two weeks prior to shipping. Deposits are not
refunded. No puppy is sold as a breeder or as show quality. We make no guarantees that this puppy will be either.
Shipping is handled by James Robinson and can only be done during
times when he is not working. Most pups will ship on Friday or Saturday of the week. Sometimes we can make other arrangements
to help the new puppy owner. No puppy will be shipped before it is at least eight weeks old or even older in the
case of very tiny babies. All puppies will be registered with the American Kennel Club unless otherwise stated on your contract.
Postal Money Orders should be made out to James Robinson.
