I think it may be partially due to the fact that he's here (with his dad and my boyfriend who he is very familiar with and fond of) instead of at home with his mother and sister who he has never been separated from. I was going to take him home but I'm afraid he may get his sister sick (who is the same age). He seemed very happy the past 2 days, so I had no reason to suspect before that he was depressed about being here. It has caused him to noticeably eat less though, maybe he just got a little hypoglycemic from not eating enough. I've continued to offer him food but it's almost like the thought disgusts him. He turns away from it and is completely disinterested. His father had some similar issues growing up with being a picky eater but I could always make him eat if I gave him something he really liked. I'm just going to keep on with the pedialyte and karo syrup until I can take him to the vet in the morning, I just feel so bad for my little boy  |
Also, if it is hypoglycemia just make sure that he gets that karo syrup and stays warm, if he gets worse and doesn't want to get up or anything than you should take him to the vet immediately.. since hypoglycemia that is in it's later stages can cause a coma and death as well. I don't want to scare you at all , It's just that I am sure you are aware how delicate these little guys are when it comes to illness.
