And for it to happen twice and the sugar to help twice, I'd be very concerned that there is something going on here.
I'd wonder why an adult dog suddenly can't regulate blood sugar. So yes, I'd be doing bloods unless my vet could give a very good explanation about why it happened.
The other symptoms could have been anal glands. Not sure how weird gum color would go with that. |
I agree about the low blood sugar after a day of not eating as there have been other times he's not eaten and no problems. I started trying to remember his eating habits when this happened...he's always been fussy and picky but to the best of my recollection, he was eating, at least his breakfast. I usually have my breakfast as they eat because they will not eat unless I sit with them. and as far as I remembered, he was eating.
I will definitely speak with the vet when I go. I am hoping to get there a little bit when I take my lunch break.
Thanks.
