Vomitting is not a symptom of hypoglycemia. I just say that it
sounds like hypoglycemia b/c of the other symptoms. Vomitting is
normally associated with parvo (along with diarrhea which they ruled
out) or a blockage. If it is a blockage the vet should be able to
tell from an xray. You can also use honey or karo syrup instead of
Nutracal. ~Lacey
