thank you guys for your opinions!
the lady who has giving little tootsie a home is a good loving person, I was just so confused why the vet would want her to give it to her every night, if there has been no problems from the get go! I have never had any of my pups or adults need it, I understand there is a first time and
I can also understand to have it on hand if needed.
just like my daughter we keep her jell on hand but do not use it until needed.
if I was to use it on her every night to be safe before she gose to bed her sugar level would rise and cause problems needing a insulin shot to drop it to a safe level ASAP.
higher levels of sugar has the same affect as low sugar in the long run.
my understanding is high levels at any time has a long term affects -meaning it will take a few years to show damage.
low sugar has a short term affect-meaning it will show damage earlier.
im sorry if I'm out of line over this but I might be getting a little to personal about this since I have seen first hand the affects of high and low sugar levels with my daughter.
I only want the best for tootsie. i just need to feel good about my answer to her.
may I please forward (with your permission) your answers to her so she can decide for her self.
thank you guys for being here for me!
