Hi Mike,
Thanks for your response, I forgot to mention in the original post that
Bandits insulin levels were checked too. The vet ruled out insulinoma based
on the results ( I believe he said that if he had insulinoma the insulin
levels would be higher or lower (can't remember) I'll find out.
I would be curious to hear from one of our vet friends and get their opinion.
Thank you,
Christina
