Hypoglycemia in cats occurs when the cat’s blood sugar level or glucose level is abnormally low. Your vet Warminster, PA can tell you that if this occurs your cat may have a sudden decrease in energy, change in appetite, appear weak, restless, confused and even pass out. Hypoglycemia is often the result of an overdose of insulin in diabetic cats. However, it is not always caused by this.
