My comment:

This is the most common expression I've seen or heard, at least here. Common in medical journals too.

My comment:

I suspect you could get away with "ionic troubles" but am guessing "electrolyte troubles or anomalies" would be more common in English – I'm not a medic (or a vet!)

Google:

"electrolyte trouble OR anomaly" hypoglycemia

and the plurals:

"electrolyte troubles OR anomalies" hypoglycemia
