Glad to hear he's better and the hair will grow back.

In my experience, if they have had one hypoglycemic episode they will have another. To try to prevent this, feed small amounts at least 3x a day, preferably 4, give Nutrical, nutristat or nutridrops 3x a day, don't let the baby get overly cold, stressed or tired. They don't actually have to eat the karo, nutrical, etc. it can be absorbed through their gums or you can even give it rectally. Of course, a vet can give a glucose injection which works really fast and also an injection for dehydration so you did the right thing in an emergency situation.
