2:34 AM Hypoglycemia in Beagles |
Hypoglycemia can develop in a variety of dog breeds including Beagles. If you suspect your dog might be hypoglycemic, talk to your veterinary clinic Gresham, OR right away. Symptoms in your dog may include a sudden decrease in energy, change in appetite, appear weak, restless, confused and even pass out. Hypoglycemia is often the result of an overdose of insulin in diabetic dogs. However, it is not always caused by this. Experts have found that hypoglycemia can often be the result of an underlying health problem. For instance, a dog’s brain needs a constant supply of glucose in order to function. An underlying illness could be preventing this from happening, which in turn triggers hypoglycemia to occur. If your dog is diabetic, you especially want to watch for signs and symptoms, but non-diabetic dogs should be monitored as well. Hypoglycemia whether insulin caused or illness related requires immediate vet care and treatment. |
