Yes, the low blood sugar has been confirmed by the vet...The 2nd time this happened I took him in during a seizure, at first they thought heat stroke, but the blood test said his glucose was in the 30's...they kept him, pumped him full of IV/glucose, brought it up to the 80's...I had to leave him there all day, 'til he was able to eat, they were afraid the glucose they gave him would make him rebound again...but it stayed level, so they released him to go home...I've always heard hypoglycemia in small dogs, but...he eats, he eats a lot, and yes he runs and plays but not excessively. Has anyone heard that the seizure itself will lower a dogs blood sugar? I keep questioning which comes first...hypoglycemia or seizure. Ideally I'd like to find how to prevent this from happening, I do know they lose brain cells from low blood sugar, oops there goes another brain cell...and I really don't want him to suffer, he needs his brain cells...
