I thought I would start a new thread because it seems that Teddy’s problem is stemming from hypoglycemia. Resilient 35, 37 after 4 or 5 hrs of eating. Internal medicine and neurology are atumped by this, Teddy’s vet has told me to check in with her from time to time and let her know what internal medicine thinks. Neurology transferred him back to internal medicine because as I was told, low blood sugar they have no clue why. Ok, but I was also told the day of discharge that Teddy is a mystery, Dr does not know why despite negative test on and ultrasound and insulinoma serum testing.
It was explained to me that he could have an exploratory, butnot advised at this time and othe rblood testing to see what is causing this. My question would be what other tests could there possibley be and if other t sets are done, what is the treatment. Is it reasonable to think that steroids would only make Teddy sicker, and try to manage with home remedies, like belladonna, CBD and maybe a very low dose of phenobarbital until weaned off safely. I would never forgive myself if I unsafely caused another seizure.
Is it even reasonable that I take him to the most senior internal medicine doctor at the speciality to reassess with a new pair of eyes. Current internal medicine Dr is perf calypso fine with this because she told me herself she just does not know why Teddy is not clinical in his symptoms yet his BG is so low. Does he have a brewing insulinoma that is undetected at this time. Please any thoughts onwhattests should or could be done would help me prepare when we go to see this vet on 6/4. Apparently fitting pets into a schedule is more important than the dx and urgency of the disease there. Of course Dr Judy has been aware of all of this. We talk on Friday.
