I can come home and feed him at lunch but it is more like 3 times a day and that’s all I can do. Plus I just started crating him today because he was just being so bad about peeing and pooping where ever he wanted to. I am happy to know that I am not alone though. So I assume that Chloe grew out of this and hopefully mine will too huh? I was also under the assumption that it was because he was small but he just cleared 4 pounds and I know many others have small babies who have not had this problem. Any way… thanks for the information – Yorkie talk is the best! |
Im so glad I could be helpful.
Since you cant watch him while you work just make sure he has food available to eat while your gone and I would put a little karosyrup in his water also. My girl Chloe was 8 oz when I first got her and now she is 2.9 lbs and she is a year and a half old. She grew out of it and I am not exactly sure when because after the first month that I had her(she was 3 months old when I got her) and after the hard lessons I learned I made sure she ate and was warm so we never had an issue again so she may have grown out of hypoglycemia sooner than 6 months. It wasnt until a little after 6 months that I let her sleep with us and I stopped waking up in the middle of the night to make sure she ate.
But anyways I definetly think your little one will grow out of it. Just keep a heating pad on low temp in his crate and keep it under a towel or blanket and then what I did was I kept a pee pad on the other side (even though a lot of the time chloe peed anywhere she wanted in the crate
) and then I had a tray that hung on the door of her crate that held food and water. I got the large crate(it comes with the food tray) at walmart for $20-$30 I dont remember exactly how much, and then I got the heating pad there too.
