I didn't see you mention anything about him not eating so I'm guessing he ate something, if he did eat then he isn't going hypoglycemic, I had a scare with Gucci who is now my grandmothers dog, everytime she ate food she would act like that, she would wobble and act lethargic but after an hour or two of just laying around she would be back to her normal self, when I asked the vet how come she always did that when she ate food he said it might be a liver shunt and did a bile test on her, her bile number at the time was a little high but not high enough to diagnose a liver shunt, instead he changed her diet, I was giving her little ceasars at the time to fatten her up she was extra tiny after fighting a parasite infection (I got Gucci from a friend who's coworker didn't want her and was going to drop her off at the dog pound). Anyway the vet changed her diet and she has been fine ever since, she is 4 years old now, that was like 3 years ago that we had that scare with her.
