Well, I came home and he had ANOTHER episode. This time I was right on top of it and gave him Nutrical immediately and called our local vet ER and told them I was on my way in. An hour and a half later, I'm just now getting back. They ran a blood test on him and his sugar level was normal by then. They also gave him some anti-diarreah(sp?) medicine. They wanted to admit him for a few hours and $700; basically run all sorts of tests (shunts, parvo, etc.) and send all manner of fluids (dextrose, potassium-something, etc.) through him but figured he just had a hypoglycemic incident.
The vet says not to put cottage cheese in his food any longer. They also say he should have food out all the time (I've only been feeding him three times a day: morning, noon, and dinner time). I tried to feed him when he got home, but he still won't eat or drink much at all. I don't know what to do now but hope he gets hungry real soon...
I'll keep giving him nutrical every couple of hours through the night and we'll see how he is in the morning. Wish us luck!
EDIT: Forgot to mention how he was doing, silly me! He's laying in momma's lap resting and slowly getting back to his normal self. I hope it lasts awhile longer this time...
