Pomeranian puppy and hypoglycemia

Question
Hi, I recenty purchased a female pom pup.  I got her at 11 weeks old, this morning I had to take her to ER for hypoglycemia, her blood sugar did not register it was so low.  I am having a very hard time getting her to eat!  She weighs only 1lb and 1oz. Can you give me any help with preventing this from happening again and please tell me how to get her to eat.  Any help will be so appreciated!

Answer
At this stage you will have to "force feed" her until she regains her strength and her willingness to eat.  Having hypoglycemic attacks can cause brain damage if let to get worse.  But at this stage-she just has no appitite.  So-every few hours you will need to syring feed her a mix in a small bowl 1/4 jar of baby food (1st Foods)turkey or beef with a teaspoon of light karo syrup and a tsp of baby rice cerial and enough warm water to make it alittle watery.  Warm it to a bit more than room temp.  When they "crash" their body temp will go down too which can be a bad case of hypothermia on top of the hypoglycemia.  I put a dish towel in the microwave and warm it on high for about 45 seconds, wrap them in it and feed them out of the syring.  The best kind of syring is the ones that have a tip that looks like a hummingbird beak (long and skinny).  Put it along side the inside of her cheek and squeeze out the watery goop slowly so that she does not choke or asperate.  Also-keep canned dog food available to her at all times-AD formula that you get from you vet.  Mix in about a tsp of Karo in that as well.  Also you can add about 2 tbls of karo to her water that you leave out all the time.  If you notice her starting to get lethargic and "crashing" be sure to give her about tsp-2 tsps of straight Karo in the syring and put her in the warm towel.
Low blood sugar can kill them fast so you must be prepared.  I have saved several itty bitty ones and once you get the hang of it, it won't be so scary.  If she is comotose rush her to the vet.
