At 151, definitely not hypoglycemia, normal is 68 to 125, Lacy was like 30 if I'm remembering correctly (and this was after being given Nutrical)!

Seizures can be a symptom of many things. I wouldn't panic yet. Does he still have an open fontanel (soft spot on top of head that hasn't closed yet)?

I would have a complete blood panel done. They may have already done this and you just need to request the results, but it is possible to only test for blood glucose. If the ALT, Bilirubin, or BUN (blood urea nitrogen levels) are out of the normal range, then I would request a bile acid test pre (fasting 12 hours) and post feeding (wait two hours retest after giving high protein canned food). If all is normal, probably not liver related.

ALT 15 - 84 U/L ALT 10 - 80 U/L
TOTAL BILIRUBIN 0.0 - 0.4 mg/dL TOTAL BILIRUBIN 0.0 - 0.2 mg/dL
UREA NITROGEN 9 - 27 mg/dL UREA NITROGEN 20 - 30 mg/dL
