Also, I'm thawing out the rabbit organs now. I bought some ground and some whole. Not sure what all they threw in the bag that's whole. Once it thaws, I'll look and see what kind of goodies they have packed in there.

I tried getting her in today but no appointments. Taking her in Monday. I ordered the AlphaTRAK 2 so I will have it here in case I need to test any of them. She is doing good today and was doing good yesterday so hopefully she keeps doing good until Monday and no emergency vet visit! We played for a long time this morning and I watched her really close. I don't like waiting but they couldn't get her in and the other vet only works on Tuesday. I need more backups that I can trust...

You know what to do with the Karo if Zoe does have a drop in Blood sugar? Cureently I am sitting here with Loki on my lap and a bowl of rabbit grinds with karo syrup and salmon oil in front of me. He has siezed once this morning already and even though he stopped siezing, he is still out of it. Hate that he feels so crappy today but goodness I cherish the cuddles.

Rub it on their gums. She has been acting fine. Gonna take her in for a checkup. I had her in in July for a checkup and everything was fine so if she does have it, it just started. I took them all. All the Marshalls anyway. That was an adventure!

yes rub it on her gums during a siezure or a very lethargic state. Do not just give it to her when you notice she is a bit off. Offer her food first. I spoon feed Loki during these times. The food will stabilize the blood sugar better and longer then the karo will but in times when it is either not safe to feed (lethargy) or just completely unable and it is not safe (siezures) karo provides the instant sugar to bring them out of it. When I say lethergy btw I am referring to a time when they can barely lift their head let alone chew to be able to safely swallow. How is everyone else doing? Do you want to do the food log for Roscoe? I know it is a lot.

Her glucose was fine but I'm still not convinced. I'm taking her back Saturday for another test at another vet. I just want a second opinion. Anyway. I can do the food log. His poop has been fine. It was off once on Saturday but fine the rest of the day. I've been cutting back on the duck and adding more raw rabbit to his S&C. He's still getting the S&C rabbit as well. His activity level is high. He's always been a wired ferret! LOL!

Well. that's good her glucose was fine, did they check her ears? Also was she 4 hours fasting when the test was done? What is everyone eating? How are they eating? I'm glad Roscoe is doing well.

She didn't check her ears. Roscoe has started with the yellow mucus poop again with blood in it. Ugh. I am so stressed out. Nothing has been changed. He is eating the same thing. All the others are doing good. He started doing it again yesterday so I've been bummed out. I just wish he would go a few weeks with good poop! Poor little boy.

Ear infections can cause odd behavior also, did she check her urine? UTI's can also cause odd behavior. Was she fasting for 4 hours? I think starting that log for Roscoe would be a good idea now. How are the rest doing? What are they eating? How much are they eat?

All that was checked was her glucose. She's doing good now. I had to reschedule her appointment for Monday. I had another appointment this Saturday. My daughter is getting married on Saturday. I can't believe I forgot about that! :/ The others are doing good. Mojo and Zoe are eating the S&C duck and I'm mixing in more ground chicken. About 2 Tbsp. Roscoe and Toby are eating the S&C duck and rabbit. I put a little duck in it and whole lot of rabbit and I've been putting about 3 Tbsp of ground rabbit in theirs. Max and Chloe get the S&C duck and a bowl of ground chicken or ground rabbit. They LOVE the rabbit! I give them 4 oz in a bowl.

Congrats to your daughter!! I'm glad Zoe seems to be doing fine. Was she fasting 4 hours before the test? Everyone seems to be making decent progress. Keep upping the amount of the grinds and lowering the amount of S&C.
