| hypoglycemia I'm so afraid to sleep. ever since I woke up to violett not responding and her being lifeless in my hands, rushing to the ER vet to save her, I cant sleep Its like having a new baby and watching them sleep 24/7 mackein sure she is still breathing then making sure she eats every 4 hr. If anyone has some words of incuragement right now i could sure use some, Or if anyone has been trough this and can tell me that it will get better for us please let me no. Thank you. Michele

| me too! Just make sure to measure the food in the morning when filling the bowl, then measure it again at night (if there's anything left) to make sure she's eating enough. I've been there with hypoglycemia, and it is SO scary!!!! I'm glad she's okay

| Are you leaving food out for Spanky all the time? Have you tried using Nutri Cal if he seems lythargic. They act as if they can't keep there head up or shaking some. They seem lifeless and not thereselves.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Hopefully she'll outgrown it and it won't be a concern. I'd give her some nytrical before going to bed too.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | When I had gotten lulu she was a 1 lb and 10 ozs. I used to free feed her and then before bed give her a couple honey nut cheerios. She never crashed on me. Then when she got a bit heavier I was able to schedule feed her..I noticed she only ate at certain times anyhow. Feeding a well balanced and nutritious food helps a lot in keeping them from crashing. I have also read that putting karo syrup in their water bowl is a good additive until they are larger.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | You might have given her sugar overload. You can't give both the karo all day and then nutrical multiple times as well...it's double the sugar.

| I dont know for sure if it is too much, I was giving nutrical 3x a day as directed by vet but the vet also said to make sure they eat about a 1/2 hour after giving it because it helps stimulate their appetite and if they did not have any food after the nutrical it could cause their sugar to fall.
