I imagine it can have to do with the heat. Max always seems like he's hot even when he's in air conditioning. It's 90 degrees here but the sun wasn't out and there was a slight breeze. No more walks unless it's early morning or late evening. I don't seem to remember Lucy's episodes. What happened?
Nothing as extreme as what you are describing with Max. A couple of times after being outside - she would just sink to the ground with a glazed look in her eye. They tested her for hypoglycemia and we already knew about her liver issues. They kept her at the Vet's office for a full day.

Bottom line - they never figured out what caused it. The vet just reminded me that she is a lot smaller than Ringo and to be mindful of that on our walks. Now I will carry her for a little ways if I think she is getting too tired or too hot.

It's been over a year and hasn't ever happened again. I hope Max's was just an isolated incident and you can keep him stable on his meds.

Hope you all had a peaceful and restful evening!
