Yes I found him today under the kitchen table, in a corner, laying on his side, stiff, yet trembling...panting, drooling, eyes unable to focus, at this point he is totally helpless, he can not sit or stand, although sometimes he does manage to roll. Picked him up, rubbed NutriCal on the roof of his mouth, I find this easier and quicker then the gums, poked his little paw for a drop of blood. Wrapped him in a warm blanket and waited. His glucose level was 28...Held him and talked to him, made him feel secure until he finally comes around, still not too sure footed and shaky but able to get up and move around, took about 20 minutes.
The thing about the liver biopsy for glycogen storage disease doesn't make sense to me...if this is what he has...he would be dead by now.
Have you heard of hunting dog syndrome or white shaker dog syndrome? These sound more like what happens to him. Guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, try to keep him as calm and relaxed as possible, feed him often...hope and pray for the best.
Nutrition: What would be a good dog food with high carbohydrate, low protein, and low fat. What would you feed for treats? Is cornstarch okay for dogs? I've read they give this for humans with this problem. Guess I'm just grasping at straws...always searching for an answer, yet, never finding it. Why did this start at the age of 3 instead of as a puppy? I really do not think it's epilepsy. Would you consider Prednisone, as it raise glucose levels, I've always had a fear of this for personal reasons. Thanks Ellie May or are you Crystal?
