Nutri cal is good for low BS episodes. Lots of vitamins in it to help bring their BS level back up. Mine hated that! I used clear karo syrup when she had low BS, followed with a bit of food and water. This link is to show what Nutra drops are incase you are interested in them.- I see a few on Amazon.

A neighbor had to come and give her a meal during the day while I worked until she hit 2 lbs. If she missed 2 meals, she'd end up with low BS. And she was/ is a very picky eater. I didn't want to switch her food at 3 months, but it wasn't doing me any good to have it just sit there untouched. Switching it caused some belly upsets, but we finally found some foods she likes. I used the list in health and diet to email companies for free food samples before I bought a huge bag that lasts forever. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...e-samples.html.
Keep doing what your doing. You seem to be watching King well. Remember to ask the vet all these questions too. They should have suggests to help you with him. Let us know how his visit goes tomorrow! And if you have other questions, ask! |
You have a small one as well! How's her health if you don't mind me asking? Do you know how big her mom and dad were each? Do you remember what brand of food you were giving her at that age (3months)? What was her behavior like? Sorry so many questions.
Thank you soo much for that info on the dog food companies!!! I will be sending them an email!!!
I feel the same way as you once did about changing her food at 3 months!! I know he's probably hungry and just won't eat because he doesn't like the food..knowing that and seeing that he won't touch his food, I feel like I have to try other things even though there's a risk of his stomach getting upset. My thing is that he just needs to eat.
