I called the vets office to check on Noah and they said he hasn't eaten since 2:00 this afternoon- when I fed him.

I know he didn't care for the food they were offering and I brought baby food to give, and I literally sat there and spoon fed him. He ate 1/2 a jar of baby food and acted like he was starving. The vet felt his blood sugar dropping was from him not eating, so I can already hear the conversation in the morning, "his blood sugar dropped and we can't let him go home". Well his blood sugar would stay up if they would feed him food he wants, and actually make an effort to feed him, not just set it in a bowl and walk away. I can obviously do that better at home around the clock, but they won't release him til it's stabile, and it won't be stabile if he isn't being fed correctly. (For what it's costing, they should be hand feeding him)
Should I just demand they let me bring him home and hope it doesnt step on any toes? I plan on switching to a holistic vet and have an Appt next Wednesday, but I don't want them to refuse to treat him IF something were to go wrong between now and then.


At 12:00 his glucose was 144. At 3:00 it was 128. At 7:00 it was 96. They didn't give me a number when I called just now, just said that it was normal.
