Blood work will often reveal a hypoglycaemia and a high ß hydroxybutyrate (BHB) (which is one of the ketone bodies) level, hyperkalaemia is also often present due to ketoacidosis. BHB is a more reliable measure of disease as not all animals show hypoglycaemia and some even are hyperglycaemic. | Blood work will often reveal a hypoglycaemia and a high ß hydroxybutyrate (BHB) (which is one of the ketone bodies) level, hyperkalaemia is also often present due to ketoacidosis.
