My baby has had bile-acid test he was very low and test was good 5 pre 7 post
Vet said low blood sugar must be hypoglycemia. He had 7 hour fast. he is 11 weeks 4 day and 2.1 lbs.
I have treated him as hypo baby and we went back to vet just yesterday....he has gined a pound in 2 weeks, growing healthy happy.
He slept normal last nignt, did not eat in the middle of the night though. I usually use nutrical when he is really tired and going to sleep for a long time or wont eat. During the day he eats just fine not picky and eats ample amounts of food. I ake sure he eats every 3-5 hours and always allow to free feed. Vet JUST said he is perfectly fine. Oh I forgot to tell you one night over 2 weeks ago he had multiple seizures and I did not know to treat with Kayro. After his first (5 second) seizure he can out of it and ate. He the went back to sleep and through the night had 6 more. They finally stopped and I had bile acid ran and learned a lot more about what I was doing and possible caues. Well after being great for 2 weeks he had another seizure at 7 am this morning. I rubbed with Kayro he bounced right up and wanted to eat. He played with my Bella and now laid back down to sleep. I gave nutrical also. Its been one hour and 15 minutes.....Think this is hypo again?? He went last night almost 8 hours withour eating. BUT he does tis every night. He ate b4 bed as usual but he did make a stressful trip tp vet, and FREAKED OUT during car ride. He acted totlly normal after getting him home tho. Was this trip out enuff to set off a major sugar drop 15 hours after vet trip?? He is sleeping right now, has nutrical in him (bb size amount) ate pleanty of food drank water and played a bit....What is going on??? I cannot stop crying and worrying!!!!!!

I am posting this in here too even though i have it in emergencies.....only 2 people viewing in there and 33 in here...tryig to get answers thought this may be the best way noone is responding in there.

Did the vet test for anything besides hypoglycemia and liver shunt?

Not yet. Narrowing things down step by step..... Diggy is much better now with the kayro, a little nutrical and food he is just fine and its been 6 hours of totally normal. Which is good. I called the vet and being diagnosed hypoglycemia, the kayro making him bounce right back up and NO other symptoms besides the seizure vet is confident his sugar dropped from not eating through the night that is what it most likely is. She said if I wanted to bring him in by all means do it. He was just at the vet yesterday....Had a fulll wellness exam and without doing additional blood work which i have apt. to have done in 3 weeks she would be telling me the same thing she told me on the phone. This is normal for hypo puppies....and to keep up the many many mini meals and watch for ANY syptoms to help narrow this down if there is an underlying issue. I am happy with that answer and has been confirmed by a VERY informative sweet nice lady who does Yorkie rescue. So thanks for help and concern....ill keep ya posted!

Glad you're feeling a little more comfortable with the situation now. Hopefully it is just the hypo, and you can manage it with Nutri-Cal and kayro. Good luck!

thank you. I hope its just hypo too....

Good luck with you baby and keep us posted.

Yorkieluv · 05-19-2007, 06:51 PM

Gosh, I wish I knew what to tell you...Did this happen right after he ate some? Or had he not eaten yet when this happened?

diggy4 · 05-19-2007, 06:55 PM

had not eaten he had slept through the night u thinkin hypo?

Yorkieluv · 05-19-2007, 07:19 PM

probably hypoglycemia, but I can't say for sure. At 11 weeks, he's still a tiny baby, and he's very prone to hypoglycemia being that age and that small considering that he's already had a few episodes...

diggy4 · 05-20-2007, 06:38 AM

Well Diggy made it thru the nite wonderfully. no sugar drops, no anything. I stared at him practically the whole night. He did get up at 3:30 and would not eat but had a big meal at 11 pm so I didnt really expect him too...(he ate ALOT) So at 5:30 I got up and he was tossin and turnin so I offered him scrambled eggs with his kibble mixed in, and some cheddar cheese and he ate well. So I am hoping the seizure Friday night was due to trip to vet stressin him nd not getting up to eat. what ya think???
