To Cindy Sooy: >I took Axel in Mon. for bloodwork. ... I took him in this morning and >she sent the blood off to another lab. The lab gave his glucose level as >50. Unfortunately, his glucose level today was 60. Still low. My vet >thought he might just be off his feed and that could cause the low BG >reading. Well, it could be, but I tend to doubt it. In fact, many practitioners due a blood glucose after a four hour fast. Most vets will do an exploratory after several blood values of 60 or less. If you want ot be absolutely sure, you can run a test for insulin and calculate the insulin/glucose ratio, but I think that the results that you have, couple with the lethargy are sufficient to justify taking a look around. At four, with no other health problems, a quick "look-see" should pose much of a problem for Axel...
