HI FMLers, Was wondering if giving a blood glucose test is something I should always leave up to my vet or if it's something I could learn to do at home. I recently lost my beautiful big boy Jack to insulinoma... he had frequent seizures in the end and I was running him to my vet (almost an hour's drive each direction) sometimes twice a week, where he would always get a BG test that showed his blood count was tanking and then medication. By the way, I've been reading the recent FML posts about prednisolone vs. prednisone... I had Jack on a twice-daily dose of prednisolone (not prednisone), which I understood from my vet, and from several of you, was a short-cut to providing the necessary correction. Anyway back to the subject, is the testing machine something I can buy from a pharmacy, or online? And is the test something easy enough for semi-ferret savvy people to conduct? I appreciate your input. Leslie [Posted in FML 7473]
