Anyone advice??

ok I don't know what just happened but I was wondering why Alto was sleeping right after he ate and not running around so I grab him try to tickle him and get him to play...and nothing. He just walked away. Then my boyfriend was watching him and said he was really drooling so I grab him and he was literally dripping from his mouth. I grabbed a paper towel and kept wiping it and it was soaked. His eyes were so big so wide and almost limp. So I grab ferretvite and rub his gums then I grabbed pure honey and he licked it off my finger like he wanted it then he started spitting everywhere. He licked my finger again and did the same thing. I could see now he was coming out of it so I get the rest of his chicken mush and feed him and he eats like he's hungry. I didn't give him too much just enough till he was done. Poor guy. I don't know what that was all about. I thought maybe it was insulinoma...BUT, why would he have crashed right after he ate?? Makes no sense. If he just ate, wouldn't his blood sugars be balanced? WHY do these things always happen to me...at night...where I can't get to a vet...and my vet is 3 hours away.

I wrote this in my mentoring thread too

I don't know the actual science of it, but when I had my Studdidoo who was diagnosed with insulinoma, both my vet and my research suggested small meals often was best. My vet said this was because the body doesn't have to work so hard to digest the food and the BG stays more stable if fed often. This implies to me that on some level the work the body is doing to process the food leaves a window open for an insulinoma episode. I am guessing from the way your post is worded that Alto has not been diagnosed with insulinoma and is not on medication therefore. This does sound like an insulinoma episode to me and a vet trip to get his BG checked and some meds would be my advice. If he is already on meds for insulinoma and I have assumed wrong then I would suggest either the level of the meds or the frequency of them, may need to be increased.

Just my thoughts, hope they help and hope Alto is doing ok now

That is often how Willow presents with hers. Within 20 minutes of giving the honey, syrup, what have you, you NEED to give a very high protein meal to prevent a severe crash. Even if it means syringe feeding meat baby food.
Willow is in the vet every week trying to regulate her meds, and will have to have the debulking surgery as she simply isn't responding to the pediapred. As soon as you can(and you can still call them 24 hours a day) do so and set up an appt. for him to be seen. Dr. MacIntyre is amazing with them.
