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