sudden problem
Thanks for all the response, i truly appreicate it. I
do have an appointment tomorrow with my vet but let me
give you an update. I kept Otte with his brother in the
cage all night and this morning i let them out on their
own w/o my other 7 and Otte jumped and played. I have
given him a/d with h20 3 times today and a small amount
of pred once. He did not want to go back into his cage
so i left him out and soon thereafter he was with my
kids and seem to start getting that "look" i.e., very
slightly dazed/unsure. I immediately put him in his
cage and he went to sleep. Does this still sound like
low blood glucose? My vet said it might be his heart,
do these symptons sound like heart. Thanks again for
all of the input. Deidre
