I immediately gave him nutri-cal and hand fed him about 15 - 25 minutes later he was up and around as usual. I was worried he was having a bit of a Hypoglycemic episode, he's never had one before and I've never witnessed it first hand but he was up and about after the nutri-cal and feeding. I just don't know if it's safe tp let him not eat...
If you keep hand feeding him, you'll just start a bad habit. It's better to stop now, than try and stop later. If you're worried, give him a bit of nutri cal maybe 2 or 3 times a day. We did that when we brought Chip home until he was about 6 months old.
