Breeders often refer to this as sugar shock. This is a potential problem in all Yorkshire Terriers, and especially young ones. My experience is, that sugar shock is more prone to occur in Yorkie puppies between 5 to 9 weeks. That is why a teacup Yorkie needs to be held past the usual 8 weeks sale date. This is more so true if the Yorkie puppy is being shipped. A plane ride or even a car ride, can be very stressful on these little Tea Cup yorkies. <br /><br />If a puppy gets a cold, or is stressed for any reason, or plays for long periods of time, they can experience a drop in sugar. If your puppy acts tired and sleepy, if they refuse food for a meal or two, or they act lethargic, act immediately by giving them a little honey, or the solution that I have sent with your yorkie puppy. Call a veterinarian if your Yorkshire Terrier dog doesn't respond pretty quickly. You can also call me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6989850720154824840-3615540212429819238?l=yorkiesbydeidre.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Deidre's Yorkieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01211838698099452731noreply@blogger.com0
