There are soo many "other things" that can be wrong, and with these Yorkies and their propensity for low blood sugar, we often automatically assume that lethargy and shaking/shivering/tremors, unsteady gait, etc is from hypoglycemia...we give the NutriCal and if the symptoms disappear, we have solved the problem....many times, it is something else going on, that has perhaps lowered the blood sugar....rather than being the problem, the low blood sugar was a symptom secondary to something else. AND OF COURSE, IT ALWAYS HAPPENS ON A HOLIDAY OR WEEKEND OR MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!! When I did have a baby running around here that had issues with low blood sugar, anytime he had symptoms, I always gave the NutriCal first and then went straight to the vet, just to be sure there was nothing else going on! I am so happy for little Mikki that you were able to get her to her vet today! Keep us posted on her respnse to treatment!
