Hi sorry i replied before, but it didn't post the medical update....unless it takes 12 hours to accept it (sorry newby)
i'll try again and hopefully it doens't double up.
he hasn't had an epiosde since i have caved a bit on the food. The first one about 2 weeks after we got him, he was 10 weeks old then (and less then 4lbs i think). he was really ripping around at our summer home. he almost seemed to be dunk and wozy and very sleepy. we called the vet emerg line and they told us to get some sugar water into him to peark him up. we did do this and got him eating again. he crashed again the next morning after a normal playing sesion so we rushed him to the vet.
they tested his sugars (which were normal since we gave him some syrup to get him going before we left...didn't want him to go into shock) and did blood work then. Vets said everything came back normal and to keep an eye on him.
the third and 4th episode were much more minor, but because i knew the signs of what happened just before, i was able to get the corn syrup into him before he really crashed much. these at 12 and 13 weeks. the whole time i had been just trying to get him to eat dry/softened kibble and some wet (with no sucess). I took him into the vet again for a full blood work, bile testing and stool testing. They also checked for liver shunt. Everything thet tested came back great.
After i spoke with the vet about all this, i decieded i just need to get him to eat more. he would only eat one decent meal and day the other 2 hardly picked at. Once i put a little chicken in there he has been wolfing down 3 square meals a day of about 1/4 cup each time. he's just about 18 weeks old now, so i think we have moved past the sugar thing. i just wanted to not spoil him with the treats in there to get him eating as much as he is buring off in a day. he's definitly an active boy.
Thanks for your feedback so far!!! |
