Default Cheyenne was spayed; Q on high sugar

Hi. My little Cheyenne was spayed yesterday. She did very well. The vet's office wanted to keep her overnight (standard practice), but I couldn't do that. She would be all alone. We picked her up at 5 pm instead! She is doing as well as can be expected -- drinking some water, eating some yogurt (added a little crushed food, too), and just laying on a pillow on my lap. She is such a little sweetheart.

She also had one of her front dewclaws removed. It was missed when she was a puppy. I left it up to my vet to determine if it was best to remove it now or not. The way it was growing, it was better to have it removed. She has the most adorable little orange soft cast on it so she will leave it alone. Let's hope she does!

Anyway, the vet's office did a blood panel on Cheyenne and this is what is alarming me. Her blood glucose level was very elevated. He felt it was the result of stress. But he also said it could be diabetes or cushings. He wants to retest her in 2 weeks. The problem is that she will also be equally stressed in 2 weeks when she walks into the front door of the vets office so I don't see how there will be a difference in the results. Yesterday they drew the blood right after they took her from me and into the back. (Cheyenne didn't KNOW she was having surgery so where was the added stress other than a normal vet visit???)

Does anyone have any experience with a high glucose level or diabetes or cushings?

Please say a pray for my little darling and send along any help if you can.

Thanks so much. My husband & I are relieved we have a place to turn to for some experienced help!
