I brought my diabetic dog to the vet this week to see if I could use my blood-testing machine to test her blood daily for better diabetic control. Right!
Actually, my blood tester would have worked except that no matter where we pricked Blue, we didn’t get enough blood. We tried her ear, her back, her belly and, when the vet started trying around her butt, I called a halt to the proceedings by announcing I was not pricking my dog’s butt on a daily basis. That, apparently, is where I draw the line.
I don’t know who was more relieved, the dog or me.
