p.s. on a side note of sorts we had my brother-in-law over and engaged in normal fun conversation while hanging out we noticed prince responded very well to that as well rather then constant worrying about him and looking at him and monitoring him. etc.
| Great! It sounds like he may have just had a hypo episode. Did you see the link to the article I posted on the first page? It has great information about hypoglycemia.
It sounds like you are doing great with feeding him. Nutrical, karo syrup, etc, is great for a hypo episode, but they need food to prevent an episode. Too many people over use Nutrical and they create a cycle of sugar highs and crashes if they aren't making sure their puppy eats.
Keep up the good work and keep us posted on Prince! |
