Please read website attached http://petcare.suite101.com/article.cfm/hypoclycemia__in_dogs_and_cats for information on hypoglycaemia.
If your puppy is dehydrated then his skin will be less mobile - when tented by the scruff(the fur around the neck) it will remain in place or slowly return to its normal apperance. Also he may have taccy or dry gums.
The symptoms you are describing can be very serious in puppies and i would recommend a trip to your local vets ASAP.
Hope this helps
