This usually brings back their appetite, so it's good to have food available for this. Many people recommend free feeding so they never get too hungry, they can wear out the calorie reserves so fast through activity or stress. Here's a video of what an attack look like.

Good post!
My Diggy had seizures as a baby. My advice is this. FEED FEED FEED try to stay away rom commercial sugar porducts (nutrical or syrup) as they do help they also cause lows. Try Complex carbs. They break down slowly andkeep a slow but steady flow in the system. If he is already in an episode YES use nutrical or syrup but to avoid having to use that many many feeding a day and most inportant THRU THE NIGHT in the morning is when MOST hypo activity occurs. Cheerios are a great frequent treat. Ignore all rules about feeding. Free feed, hand feed make games of it ANYTHING to get him to eat. Rules can come later as my vet said. Also keep him warm! and stress free as possible. Limit the long periods of play to no more than 20 minutes up without some chill out time. This is what i have learned from my experiances. Diggy had 7 seizures in 7 hours....Hypo is no joke. But easily managed. if you need any other help Im here.
