Small dogs should be fed at least 2 meals a day......For tiny guys, sometimes 3 times a day is better......Hypoglycemia is a problems for tiny ones.....
MAKE SURE you are feeding a High quality diet....Little dogs need PERFECT nutrition in every bite because they do not consume much.....It cannot be full of cheap fillers & grains & by products...These are a waste of vital nutrition........If you need lists of what or what not to feed (By Brand), I will be glad to send them your way.....
Some seizures can cause damage to the brain, hyperthermia (which can effect all organs of the body), can cause additional trauma, can cause cardiovascular abnormalities (abnormal heart function). If the seizure is due to an insulinoma, for example, the hypoglycemia that the insulinoma causes can be life threatening, if untreated.
Since your dog did not lost consciousness or seize, her epilepsy may not cause her any problems.
I have been diagnosed with type II diabetes, and my physician at the time immediately put me on actoplusmet (no discussion of diet and excersise control first). I told him that I previously had gestational diabetes that once on diet alone caused my blood sugar levels to drop so low that the meter read in the 40's and sometimes just LOW. The nutritionsts then changed my diet so that it was double portion sizes and everything read perfectly.
Went for a normal physical with fasting labs. I got a call from my doctor two days later and my glucose was 56. They were concerned about me being possibly hypoglycemic. Been checking it on and off and reading a lot on the subject but no definite answer as to what I need to be watching for in the future. It ranges from being in the 60s to 120s. The highest I've ever saw it go is 122 but that was two hours after eating.

I hope everything turns out for him...Good luck & please keep us posted....
t give your dog any grains as grains are very hard for dogs and cats to process. And with already overworked kidneys it would probably cause more damage. I'm just going by what I have read and my own experiences. We lost lab to renal failure and I wish I knew then what I know now. It could have been avoided and he might still be here. I learned from it though and switched all my animals to a grain free kibble.
) I had ordered it originally for my older spayed female dog who started leaking- I had been told this occurence was common for older spayed dogs, but also told there might be something lacking in her diet. Whatever, the leaking went away since I've been giving the Fresh Factors. Fish Oil is always an excellent supplement to throw in as well.
Hi, Tony, Yes, please direct me to where I can get information on how to go the whole way and start feeding a natural canine diet. I will do that for both our dogs. Sam is our other Shih Tzu and he just turned 9 yesterday. I had no idea about the Pedigree moist food. That was their morning snack treat when they would come in from outside I would give them both a spoon of that. In the meantime I'm going to look at the Hill's K/D.
I have pre-diabetes (about 2 years now) and have autoimmune degenerative neuropathy (CIDP for 26 years) unrelated to diabetes. I am not overweight, and am 32 years of age. My question is: does inflammation in the nervous system cause alterations in glucose metabolism? I'm currently having multiple daily bouts of hypoglycemia - my doctors can't/won't answer my question. I'm taking IVIG, Imuran and Ultram - no steroids or antidiabetics.
IF this IS hypoglycemia, you can do a lot to help yourself by making some changes in diet. Folks who live with hypoglycemia often avoid all forms of caffiene, which can speed up the body's functions and therefore increase the pancreas' dump of insulin. Also, many hypoglycemic people avoid all simple sugars and many find some relief in staying on a fairly low carb diet so as not to stimulate the over-active pancreas.
I would see your doctor about this very soon, as folks with hypoglycemia may develop diabetes later on. You may have pre-diabetes, and need to go on a diabetic diet. Meanwhile, make sure you have both protein and carbohydrates with all meals, and with all snacks, which you seem to be doing. You also might need to get a dietary consult and/or see an endocrinologist, for both are specially trained in working with people with blood sugar problems.
Recently I started passing out and my doctor ordered a 5 hour fasting. About hour 3 I crashed to a blood sugar level of about 37. I have met with a nutritionist and I am trying to adhere to this diet. However, it isn't making me feel any better. My head is very cloudy and I have difficulty concentrating. My head hurts constently and I can't sleep well at night. My eyes burn and sometimes I just feel like I am zoned out.
I agree, better just ask your doctor, he's not going to give you hardly anything for a list my doctor isn't too worried about deli meats, hot dogs, tuna, etc, it's all more or a precaution than it is a strict rule, ya know? You'll be fine!
i've had dogs on hills RX for a medical problem...thats what its for..if ur other dog doesn't have a problem and is doing well on his regular food i wouldn't change his diet...unecessary change to his digestive sytem thats not medically warranted.i didn't switch my healthy dog to it...have that situation right now!
Caffeine is known to be a problem for people who suffer from hypoglycemia, for it causes the body to speed up production of insulin, which can make hypoglycemia worse. There are some decaffeinated sugar-free soft drinks that are available, and you might do well to look at those as options.
Hello. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. As a fasting blood glucose result, 80 is on the low end of the ok range, but it is in the ok range.
If your daughter will develop diabetes, or just hypoglycemia, there is nothing known that you can do to prevent it. You can keep your family, daughter included, more healthy through exercise and a better diet with more fruits and grains, for example, but that won't stop hypoglycemia in your daughter.
