at 6 mos i highly doubt this was hypoglycemia as that happens in smaller dogs not 6lbs they can go a while without eating at that size

also most vets are not real up on liver shunt and mvd so please pursue this testing to rule this out

hoping they kept him to do bile acids this morning as well
I agree. This is something we have seen in a few Biewers...with more of a leaning towards MVD.
