Cali my 2 1/2 year old kept having hypoglycemic episodes and was at the er vet a lot for iv therapy etc. when she was a puppy. I had to feed her every 3 hours even during the night. She wa 1 lb at 9 weeks and the runt of the litter. She was diagnosed with very mild MVD or internal liver shunt. They specialist felt that her case was so mild she didn't need treatment and wasn't the cause of her hypoglycemic episodes. She did grow out of the hypoglycemic epsidoes. I would just do what you are doing, watching her carefully, make sure she eats frequently, even if it's not the best food, Cali would only eat Cesars wet food. Once she got older I switched her to a good dog food. The test should give you a more difinitive diagnosis. I will keep her and you in my prayers that it is not serious. I know how terrible it is to go thru this.
