Terri - Honey will do the same job, just rub it on their gums and put a little in their mouth - it works very quickly.

Making sure that the very little ones eat often is the key to preventing hypoglycaemia so free feeding or feeding 4-5 times a day should work.

Bruno was just 2lbs 2oz when we got him at 12 weeks and he never had a hypo, but it is a good idea to have something like honey in the house in case!

Great article specially for new owners, My"sugar" is 1 1/2 old when I first got her she weighed 11 oz. I went through this several times with her and I kept Karo Syrup and honey and water around for her because I had to give it to her with syringe. Be careful we almost lost her twice. Its scary. I have also learned that stress cause this big time even how she only weighs 2.4 lbs.

I just brought home my 8 week old little girl on April 1st. She was not eating at all unless we coaxed her, it was exhausting. She ate the second day on her own, so we thought maybe we were home free, but no. On April 3rd I had to learn how to force feed "Sky" with a syringe and baby food after giving her sugar in a tube. I had to do this all day into the night. Today she ate on her own. We were told by the breeder to make sure she eats every 4 hours. I am really tired and have fibromyalgia on top of it. Any ideas to make this less stressful?

What about switching her food? My new guy did the same thing we've had to play around with his food a bit until we finally got him to eat raw. He would like the new food but then at the next meal stick his nose up and walk away. He's eating much better now.
