He has low blood sugar and possibly liver issues. Since we have had him on pbr he has not had any grandmal seizures. Check out yahoo groups for liver problems and congenital disease dogs. There is a wealth of information there and a lot of support. The ice bag is a great suggestion. Keep that handy. Only give Bryers all natual ice cream as it has no presertives in it. If you need more support please e mail me @ psvidesigner@verizon.net. It may take a while but keep on searching for a vet who will treat the symptons and the seizures. |
Okay, Bryers all natural it is, vanilla...I'm going to keep some on hand. Thank you so much for wishing Winston well, I greatly appreciate your concern...As far as getting other vet opinions, I think I will, but I'd like to find a "specialty" vet, to make sure it's not neurological, do you really think an 8 pound yorkie would have a liver problem...I'm beginning to wonder...the liver stores glucose right and the pancreas supplies insulin. I work as a medical assistant in a people doctors office, and I know some of the diabetes medications work on the liver to prevent too much glucose from going into the system. Maybe I'm really making too much of this, I don't know. But I want Winston to be well...and I hate to see him go thru this, I'd rather it be me!!!
