 With low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) first aid treatment can help. Honey, syrup, or sugar water may reverse the problem for a puppy that begins to become confused or weak due to lack of eating properly, but only if it is given at the first signs of a problem, before collapse or seizures occur. If a diabetic dog that has had too much insulin and shows signs of weakness is given sugar promptly, it can prevent further problems from developing. Dosage depends on the size of the dog. Approximately a tablespoon given a little at a time is probably enough for a small dog, more for a larger dog. Do not give anything orally if a dog is unconscious. A veterinary checkup should be given once the dog is stabilized. *********  Back to Main Page
