I guess, it does it through carbs though, and that's the kind of body reaction I would expect to see in humans, not dogs, if dogs use fat the way humans use carbs.
I'm wondering what the science is behind it. Something I can research more into.
I got some honey chews today at lunch for emergencies on the trail, and some dehydrated chicken bits for treats. Hmmm....
What about some sort of pemmican like mixture, with dehydrated meat, some sort of fat, dried berries and maybe some oats or quinoa for a quick carb fix.
I have no idea how to make it, especially the fat part but it seems like it might be a good choice to keep his energy up before an emergency arises and the honey is needed.
If anyone's wondering why I neutered Neb now, it's the 'erection everytime he sees Teagan/constantly trying to hump her' issue.
I've worked with him on this for over 6 months now, and it has not abated. Perhaps a better trainer than I, but he's really got the amore for her. I hope that the neutering will change this behaviour, or help to change it with continued training (b/c otherwise, humph). I worried that if I left the op longer any chance of it helping the behaviour would be gone.
Just thought I'd post this here, in case people search and find this thread about the hypoglycemia....
Connie was right about the amount of sugar in honey! I posted this in another thread:
Quote:
Neb is hypoglycemic and while I have dehydrated chicken to give him while we hike or backpack, on our recent trip up north I decided to give him a honey chew that we have for emergencies to see how he reacted. Within 5 minutes of him eating the chew (he was fine, energy-wise, so I will say his blood sugar was normal at the time I gave it to him) he turned into a tasmanian devil/demon dog, like a crazed puppy. It was a small chew but it was an obvious sugar reaction.
I am keeping the honey chews for emergencies only!!!
