Winston update: Saw the new vet in Peoria today, liked her very much...Yea!!! She does not suspect an insulinoma, wrong breed, wrong age, wrong symptoms. She is not sure, yet what we are dealing with...hypoglycemia or epilepsy. She wants him to go back to puppy food, and feed him 4 times daily. If he has another episode I am to poke his little ear for a drop of blood and check his glucose, of course I'm to keep records of his sugar's during any seizure. Then if his sugar is low, every time, we proceed with a liver biopsy for glycogen storage. Then she will give him something like a daily, low dose of cortisone to raise his glucose. She wants to check with her lab to see how to do the Insulin-Glucose-Ratio best, to see if his glucose MUST be low to get accurate results. His sugar at her office today was 72...she said a dogs sugar should be around 120, so she thought his was a little bit low. She also checked him over pretty good, and found nothing out of the ordinary. His weight was 7.6#, not obese...but she wouldn't want him to get any bigger. She said his bile acid test was okay...does not suspect liver shunt or MVD. So overall I think it went well...I am so thankful, she put my racing mind at ease. If his sugar's are not low during every seizure, then she would suggest a neurologist for epilepsy.

Thank You YorkieTalk for all your thoughts and prayers...Keep them coming, for Winston's sake. Right now, I feel pretty satisfied...and Winston is doing fine, laying at my feet...He says he woofs you guys!!!
