He's fine, can't keep him out of the litter box till I put it in the laundry basket. Lol. He loves poop, gross I know but to him its gourmet. Just this morning I let him in the yard to do his thing and stood on the porch to keep an eye. I clapped (his signal to come in) and here he comes trotting up the porch with a hunk of poop (rabbit or deer) in his mouth ready to stash in his bed for a treat later. Looked at mom and dropped it..... On my porch.... Like I hadn't seen it. Little snot. Lol.
Hypoglycemia is a drop in blood sugar. I didn't recognize it because I was at work and my sister in law had come to my house to wash her laundry and let him out for a trot in the yard. At that time he was only 3 lbs and it was snowing. She called me an hour after she had let him in said he looked drunk or like he had Parkinson's. I left work and she met me in my driveway. I had already called my vet to let them know I was on the way. Scooped him up and off we went. His blood sugar had dropped to 18 or something crazy low in that range. When they are tiny like that they burn up sugar just by being cold because the body tries to warm up using what the body has stored. Anyway, vet gave him warm IV fluids and checked his bs. Got it back up to 170's and sent him home with me. The next day he still wasn't eating so we went back (my vet is at the vet hospital but they still jack up the price on weekends.... Grrrr) and she drew tons of blood from his neck and took a stool sample ( by force much to Mr. B's dismay) and wrote a prescription. She called me Sunday and said he had corcdia or something like that. From eating deer poop.
