She took him to his regular vet and they still couldn't find anything - even told her he looked healthy. He has still been having Bm's and peeing like regular but not wanting to eat. They gave her some special dog food that she has to feed him w/ a syringe. I'm praying that he is gonna be ok. It's so weird because my baby is doing great and I kind of feel guilty.

Please keep little Prince Charming Hinson in your prayers.
Has she asked them about hypoglycemia, it really sounds like that. Feeding more frequently can make a big difference. Also many vets recommend free feeding, which is keeping food available 24/7 the first 6 months or so. Nutri-cal can help treat hypoglycemia, but protein should be given within a half hour of the nutri-cal, because it’s mainly sugar and can cause another attack of hypokalemia if no protein is given. The nutri-cal or white Karo syrup can perk up the appetite because a symptom of hypoglycemia is lack of appetite. Do you know how much he weighs? Hypoglycemia is much more common in dogs under 4 pounds. Sending prayers for Prince Charming.
