Hi,

I had a question for you ladies. I have a Shih-Tzu that will be 9 months old on Feb 5th. When she was 10 weeks old she woke up one morning whining. I went to pick her up & she went completely limp in my arms, after that she pooped on me, threw up , and then was fine. My vet said it was hypoglycemia. I can understand that episode because the day before she had her shots & hadn't eaten much. Last Thursday morning she woke up doing the same thing. I checked her gums, they were very pale and I gave her some syrup with a syringe the vet gave me for her if it happened again. She took the syrup well, threw up, and pooped. After that she was fine. I called the vet to tell him about her having another one of these attacks & to see if I should bring her in for bloodwork or something. He said I should just monitor her. I thought she would have outgrown this by now. It's very scary to me because I'm worried it's something else wrong. Do you think I should go see another vet that would do the bloodwork on her ? I'm really not happy with the "just monitor " her response! He's been my vet since I got my first dog when I was a teenager, but his lack of concern bothers me this time. She's been fine since this happened last week, but I'm just an overly worried mommy I guess.

Thanks for your help!
