Hello,
Super new to this community. I just wanted to see some opinion on what to do.
Backstory: My mama malamute had a litter of 7 pups. However, my mama mal didn’t know what to do during labor at 2AM when I was asleep. She had gone outside and left the first pup out in 30degree weather. Thankfully my husband got off graves and found the puppy almost frozen to death. We warmed him up and had him back with my mama mal to nurse. Due to that experience, we named him Subzero. She had 6 other successful pups after. So fast forward to last week, 6 of the pups are healthy and lively. However, Subzero started seizing and vomiting. I freak out and take him to the vet right away. Thankfully, the vet was able to help him and diagnosed him with hypoglycemia. My husband and I have been feeding him his supplements since his diagnosis and he’s doing much better. I’ve been trying to wean Subzero off my mama mal; but he won’t eat anything else. All his other siblings are eating puppy food with the occasional nursing, but they all prefer the puppy food. So my questions:
1) How would you help Subzero transition? Especially since, my mama mal is tired of her pups sharp teeth. She sometimes runs away from them. 2) What feeding routine do you have for your hypoglycemic pet? If you have one. If not, what would you recommend? 3) Any recommended puppy food for hypoglycemic pets? I don’t mind cooking either, so if you have recipes to share. 4) I know that I don’t exactly have a lot of time for Subzero, but I do try my best. I have an infant and toddler (7mo & 2yrs old), and they take up a lot of my time... plus work... We are planning to give away the puppies because our backyard isn’t built for all of them. My concern is I can’t trust another person to take care of him. I feel so attached. What would you do in this situation if you know you should give away this puppy to a more responsible owner?
