I have never seen idiopathic low blood sugar past 4 months old. Lacy had severe hypoglycemia (seizures) as a puppy, but outgrew it and it never resurfaced. That was 25 years ago when breeders warned about low blood sugar, but vets didn't really believe in it. You would have to draw blood prior to giving any sugar to confirm hypoglycemia. I would want a bile acids test and ammonia test done to see if it might be a liver shunt which can cause hypoglycemia. Liver disease, kidney disease, addison's disease could also cause hypoglycemia. Since the Nutrical solves the problem each time I do think it probably is low blood sugar, but not idiopathic (unknown cause) as the kind seen in puppies. I believe there is an underlying cause which is probably serious. I hope you find the answer. |
