I am also a new owner and my baby had a spell with hypoglycemia. And he was eating. Well I was scared when this occured, so I called the vet. I took him in after giving him some honey. I had already tried the Nutricel. It turned out he had a parasite. And being so little he could not consume enough for the parasite and him. After a round of antibotics, he is doing great. So just a thought......like I said I am new to this ballame.....Jennie
