Smartpuppypets - you ever considered becoming a vet?? LOL The vet told me that they do believe it was a case of hypoclycemia and that when I get him back I should feed him at lease every 2-3 hours untill he is a bit bigger and can be fed less a day.
So - I guess this means that somehow I will have to get around my boss and bring him to work.
So lets hope a speedy recovery for my little boy so he can get back home!

Heheh.. you are good
Glad to hear the good news ! The vet is a caring one and was very sharp, he acted fast before the puppy went very weak. Do not be too anxious to get him back, to force feed a puppy is not a horrible thing, it is done all the time and soon the puppy will be eating on its own. But if you do not know how and when to force feed you can do more harm than good. I am not sure if you have the same brands of food in there as we have here. If you do your vet is probably using A/D or Recovery to force feed, these are very easy to digest. He may give you some to take home with you and that is good. Just ask him. If he is using another brand ask anyways and he will sell you some to take home, slowly you will start mixing the dry food again... but i am sure your vet will coach you through it !
So gald all is going well...
