Thanks, it's not even so much the cost of the tests as it is just putting him through everything when I don't really think there is a problem. The vet agreed too that I should wait a bit and see how Vinnie does on the antibiotics and de-wormer. He said that I should bring him back in at some point in the next few weeks, once he's eating normally, and have his blood sugar retested. If it is still low, then we can consider looking at other tests. But again, he is acting so normal that I just can't believe there is something wrong. He was just playing with me and ate dinner with his usual vigor.
One thing I wanted to know - is hypoglycemia normal in adult yorkies? I know puppies can get it, but what about adult dogs? Or is it normal to get a glucose reading in the low 60s even when the dog is acting normal and not having any symptoms? Just curious....I trust (and really like) my vet, but I know that, just like human docs, they don't know everything.
Thanks!
