We have a 2lb, 11 week old male yorkie that we suspect is hypoglycemia. He has this head bobbing/nodding occasionally with eye twitching that lasts seconds. He played his little heart out last night with our company and it's still going on today. He's still active and I can't keep a good Yorkie down! I do not have Nutrical, but used table syrup a few times on him. The pet store had nothing at all to offer that was similar to the Nutrical. Problem is, I don't know how often or how much to give him so I'm maybe giving him an 1/8 to 1/4 tsp and making sure he's eating. I'm afraid of taking it to the other extreme of hyperglycemia. I hope someone can help. My plan is to take him to the vet tomorrow. Unfortunately I work 8-4 and don't want to wait that long. I'm considering doing the fake sick thing which I'm feeling so guilty about cause I never do it, but this is soooo important.
