To Mark Van Noy: I'm sure that you will receive a lot of mail, but in case you don't, Alice's symptoms are HIGHLY suggestive of an islet cell tumor, also known as an insulinoma. Your next step is to take her to the vet and have a blood glucose test run. If it is less than 70, my suggestion to you and your vet is to go for an exploratory abdominal surgery to evaluate the pancreas. Surgical removal of these tumros is not that difficult, and is highly preferable to medical treatment. For more information on islet cell tumors - consult the FAQ - (see above for instructions. there are several good articles by several different vets in there that will be of great benefit to both you and your vet.
