Pumpkin is doing well, but one thing I am consistently seeing is her dropping really low around mid-afternoon (approx. 2pm-4pm). She seems to be well-managed the rest of the day, and she eats 4x/day but she seems to have these drops in the afternoon regardless of how much she eats during her mid-day feedings. Has anyone dealt with this and does anyone have any suggestions for managing this? I'm often not home in the afternoons so I really worry about her having a hypoglycemic episode while I'm gone. She seems to average 40-50 during these drops, and the rest of the day is usually 150-250. Right now she is on prescription DM canned, just switched from all raw. We moved a couple weeks ago and she stopped eating altogether, so I had to take her off the raw and give her canned just to get her to eat something. She is eating it but often needs a lot of coaxing and still does not finish her meals. But even when I am able to get a full meal in her in the afternoon, she is still having these drops. Is there something I can add to her afternoon meals to prevent this or anything else I can try?
