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! |
I really did think it was sugar. I gave her Nurtical and she acted better. But it didn't take long before she started shaking and being sluggish again. I realized then it was more than sugar. I knew she had to be seen.
My kids and my pups all wait until the holiday, weekend, or middle of night. Ha ha. Never fails!! With Alex's knee problem it happened on a Saturday! So kids and dogs both are doing this to me!
I will continue to update! Thank you!
