My baby Dante having liver and sugar issues. Help!!! Thank God I found a board with other folks who love their yorkies the way I love mine! Please read our situation and let me know if you have any advice or insite.
Dante is a 3 1/2 year old highly energetic, normally healthy yorkie. Three days ago: he began to act lethargic, not interested in eating, not even up to following me around the house. Two days ago: vomitted twice in the morning, began peeing inside (uncommon), would only eat boiled chicken fed by hand. Normal BM's. Yesterday: took Dante to vet. Pancreatitis showed negative. Liver enzymes extremely high (ALKP 502, ALT 679). Glucose extremely low (39mg/dL). The vet gave him some fluids, an anti-nausea med, an antibiotic to be started last night, and some Nutri-Cal (which he digested a little bit of)...and sent us home. Last night: emergency trip to vet as Dante was completely unresponsive. Glucose DID NOT EVEN MEASURE! They immediately gave him an iv of fluids and glucose along with a bag of antibiotic. This morning: vet called to say Dante had made it through the night and his glucose was back up to 93 mg/dL. He is still not eating AT ALL on his own. I am meeting with the vet at three to discuss his condition. She is still not giving a diagnosis. I am worried if I bring him home again and he is not eating, that his blood sugar will bottom out once more and he will start to go into a coma again.
What is going on with my baby? Please help!
