My Dad offered to pay, but my Mom is causing a stink. She told me "She is JUST a dog. They don't have the same feelings as people. She will be fine how she is." My DARLING husband said he doesnt care how much it costs, he is going to pay for the surgery. Now I just have to get her Diabetes under control. I swear I think I was adopted because my family doesn't even love animals like me. They suk!! Anyone else use a glucose meter on your dog?? I read I have to take the blood sample from her lip! OUCH! |
I have been home testing Lady for six years now. It's the key to longevity with diabetes. I started in the first year she was diagnosed and Lady still has her eyesight as a result.
I suggest you join this forum for those of us with diabetic dogs. They will help you learn to home test.
