Just saying hi to all as I stopped in for a minute. Natalie
I was supposed to be here a few weeks ago but then my gallbladder tried to kill me - apparently my Bohemian ancestors' gall bladders take the first sign of trouble as a reason to curl up and die! LOL...
I am sad to report that Bug passed away Sunday, April 8, 2018, after becoming very ill abruptly the night before. He had been doing well since that last episode, definitely aging and slowing down,...
As far as cortisol level goes, the symptoms you describe would be signs of low cortisol rather than high... but it's hard to say if it is related to cortisol at all.
I hope that treating it as...
Michelle, can you test his blood sugar? With throwing up, it could be low.
Glad to see you at K9D Luke. You can test his blood sugar yourself at home. See www.k9diabetes.com/bgtestvideos.html for some video tutorials on getting a blood sample for use with a human meter....
I recently tracked down this post when someone asked me about pet insurance and asked for quotes through the review site.
Our VPI coverage does not usually reimburse everything - we have sort of...
I was able to copy the above post from K9D directly to a new post here. I think you can do the same.
Natalie,
he has pituitary cushings. He just had another seizure about 30 minutes ago and is now sleeping. I was wondering if the tumor was growing.
I posted his meds on the cushings site and I'...
I posted at K9D... doesn't make sense to me to give Trilostane (suppresses cortisol) and Prednisone (supplements cortisol) at the same time regardless of what's going on with him.
If his PDH has...
For diabetes advice, best to post on the diabetes forum as there are many people besides myself there who can offer support. I just moved your thread there to the main diabetes discussion area.

I think it is fine to give 3 units given how high his blood sugar is. They can have up to half of their normal dose with no food when their blood sugar is a lot lower than his.
I approved your membership a few hours ago. You might have tried to post to an archive thread that is closed to posting. Go to the main diabetes discussion area, be sure you are logged in with rhe...
Ah, that's good. You're also not all that far from Texas A&M, which I think is one of the better vet schools in terms of caring for diabetic dogs. Oddly, though, their influence doesn't seem to...
Hi,
I'm the administrator of the diabetes forum.
Are you in an area large enough to have a specialty veterinary clinic?
Your dog needs to receive insulin regardless of whether he's...
I have posted to the thread at K9D and think a change in insulin should be tried. If possible, I'd try a week or R only four times a day and see if that demonstrates that the NPH is the problem.

Ketostix or Ketodiastix are urine test strips you can buy at a pharmacy. If they don't have them in stock, they should be able to order them for you.
...
Does she have any ketones?
The blood sugar you listed is terribly high and ketones could be a problem at this point if it is remaining high. They are potentially fatal.
Do you have test...
Glynda asked me to look in on your thread... so sorry to hear that Bonnie is not feeling well. I brought up the post you made at the K9 Diabetes forum back in October.
I too am very worried about...
Hi JoAnne. I saw your registration at K9D. I will approve your membership now so no need to complete email confirmation.

Oh, almost forgot, here's the article by Dr. Peterson on insulin resistance in Mini Schnauzers.

Hi,
I am the admin from the k9diabetes forum (www.k9diabetes.com/forum).
I'm glad the Vetoryl has been stopped. Unfortunately it is quite common for diabetic dogs to be misdiagnosed with...
Vicki... I wrote you a reply over at K9D and just wanted to tell you here too how very sorry I am to learn that Scoop has passed. He was such a cherished and beloved friend.
