Updated on September 23rd, 2025

My 9 week old pup just had a funny 5 minutes of what I can only call a sise to side head wobble and has now gone to sleep

Sometimes small breed puppies can have hypoglycemic episodes. Because of this its important to feed them multiple snacks throughout the day. I recommend taking Koko to see her veterinarian soon just to make sure that there is nothing that requires medical treatment.
