    Along with the warmed towels you can use a heating pad, be sure to put a towel between the dog and the pad as you can cause a burn injury, I wouldn't put it on high, medium should be fine.
    The problem at the moment with forcing in glucose is that being cold can cause a certain amount of unresponsiveness and he could aspirate (suck the liquid into his lungs)
    This can cause pneumonia.
    A safer alternative at the moment would be to rub it on his gums and tongue.
    What type of glucose do you have is it a solution from the vet?
    Is there any way you could get in touch with your vet to see if there are any emergency options available?
    I know where I am vets are required to provide emergency contact information for their clients.

    I see... ok I will not force it. Will try as you say. Its 1.30am over here in my place. I will try to keep it warm till morning and see if I can bring him somewhere else. The glucose was not from ghe vet. I bought it awhile back because he couldn eat anything. I was thinking glucose will give him some energy

    It will if his blood sugar is low he will need it, how big is he?
    The most important thing right now is warming him up.
    How long has it been since he has eaten?

    Dry heat is best.
    And in reference to your earlier question about, what I think is acetaminophen, never, ever, give this it is toxic to the liver and can kill.
    Any human medication should first be discussed with your vet, there are many they cannot tolerate.
    I trust you haven't given any?
    Keep a check on his temp, OK?

    How big is your dog and how much did you give?
    This is a concern.
    How is he doing now that he is warming up.
    Are you sure that you have no emergency facilities available or a vet on call in your area?
