You can even cause an episode of hypoglycemia by giving too much Nutr-Cal, so don't use it unless it's needed. When sugar enters the bloodstream, insulin is produced, unless their is sufficient protein to stabilize the insulin, another attack of hypoglycemia will result. Free feeding is the recommended way to eliminate hypoglycemia. See this link for more information: Hypoglycemia Symptoms and Treatment |
Thanks Nancy. I always learn something when I read your posts. And now for the first time, I feel good because I free feed my pup.....people are always telling me that I shouldn't. Thank you.
