stabba 10,745 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 If your dogs blood sugar goes low whilst working then its time to pack it in for the day/night. Whatever you give it will only boost the energy levels for a very short time. You try it mate. Graft until you cant stand up then have a mars bar. Give it 5 minutes then try to do the same graft again. the boost should be able to get your dog home where it can be treated and fed and watered the correct Electrolite solutions. atb stabba Quote Link to post Share on other sites
