I woke up late to head to bed and could not rouse her. Off to the ER clinic we went because I didn't even know about hypoglycemia back then. Her glucose was very low and she was starting to dehydrate. After spending several hours (and several hundred dollars) getting her fluids and her sugar up, she was fine. And she never slept in a crate again - she was right there on me so I could watch her. And now I make sure ALL my dogs have at least a snack before bed and access to water.

It's very scary. Callie never had one as a pup but she has as an adult and I luckily knew what to do but it scares the crud right out of you.
