Can someone tell me if there is something I am doing wrong or if I could be doing something else to prevent this? I hate seeing him crash like he did last night but I do not know what else I could do. He is currently just over 6 months old and weighs 4 pounds. Thanks so much for the advice and help. |
I had problems with hypoglycemia with CHloe. She was very tiny and even went into a hypoglycimic coma twice. I learned that they MUST eat at least once every 3 hours. My vet said not to rely on nutrical too much, but just to make sure that chloe ate puppy food every 2-3 hours. Also you can put a little karosyrup in the water if you think they are looking like they are not doing to well. BUt my vet said eating is the most important thing. Once I made sure chloe ate every 3 hours (which meant I had to wake up in the middle of the night to make sure she ate) we were fine. Yes she had access to food 24 hours so she could eat whenever she wanted but I made sure she did eat. If she refused her food, I had her eat a soft treat or I wetted her dry food and warmed it a little bit and sometimes I just had to hand feed her.
