The Adventures of Cato, Tara and Jasmine

Do you think his blood sugar might be low Jo from all the sickness .....(thinking about the wobbly, sleepy part)

Glad your able to eat again little man....get well soon

Yes, he gets low blood sugar if he goes too long without food.

This is the first time that I haven't managed to make him eat (didn't try cos I was fasting him for 24 hrs) and have been very interested to see that after a while, he stopped the shivering, and settled.  I did keep him warm on my lap.

So I am guessing that like humans (same thing happens to me when I low blood sugar, which has happened the whole of my life) his own little body sorts itself out.  There is a complex blood sugar regulation system that should be in place for all of us, balancing appetite, food intake, blood glucose, and the release of glucose from storage whether as glycogen in the liver, or more slowly from fat storage.

I was very glad to see that his body did what it was supposed to do - and sorted out its own balance.

 

Bless his sweet little heart ❤️ 

He is doing fantastically.  I am so impressed.

His appetite has come back, with a vengeance.  Last night he found a forgotten pig's ear, and I let him have it for about 10 mins.  His enthusiasm and delight were wonderful.

And this morning he has been so positive and bouncy we took both mutts with us for breakfast.  Just got back.  Will blog it later.

I know I was not supposed to give him anything but fish, but he had one tiny piece (a cubic centimetre) of gluten free sausage, and a couple of hundred yards walk on the prom.  Now we are back, he is humping his bed - a sure sign that he is back to feeling good! 

 

Really pleased to hear he's getting better. ?

Am soo glad to hear you're feeling better Cato, your fish sounds delish! 

I'm so glad to hear that Cato is feeling better.  That is such great news!  

So happy to see the photos along with the story...makes all the difference 

And I just pinched new material
