Yorkieforme, I would definitely have a bile acid test done on your baby to check for liver function. Hypoglycemia is a symptom of liver shunt/mvd and liver shunt is many times misdiagnosed as hypoglycemia. My baby had severe hypoglycemia when he was a pup, and we finally seemed to get it under control with small frequent meals and no red meat of any kind, but symptoms returned later on and we found out that he indeed did have liver shunt. Bile acid tests should be done on all yorkies. They are 36 times more likely to have liver shunt than all other breeds combined.
