So if you get a curve here and there of a high , It's not the end of the world.
It's not lasting long and it's not every day..
You need to take her age in consideration and realise she is doing well as long as she is eating and drinking and playing with her Mommas
Dont get controlled by her Bg's ... Enjoy her !!!

He just seamed to need less insulin.. and like you I would adjust the food/ carbs.
All this can not be handled this way for those that don't home test thats why I believe home testing is the most important tool you can have with a diabetic dog...
Unless Killie was super low..almost hypo low... I would give less insulin..
But like you I didn't give any insulin untill the BG reading was at a safe level.
This is just stuff we know to do in time...

I think the Goose is getting use to the weekend adventures...
Great that you found that baby crib..
Will she use it at home too? She is so funny with her picky ways,
I thought you were going to be on a boat?

Very cute actually. To keep her safe and secure (and Clean), we set up her playpen on the sand with her big dog bed and mammas under the Easy up for shade and she was very content. In fact, used the crib while in the house and she loved it. It kept her from wandering through a strange place with strange people and she could still hear me so she was fine and had no issues. This time I was sure to have my honey on hand, my meter and strips, and everything she needed but there was no incident.
Home now, she acts like she never left- is still at 4.5 U and will have a curve done tomorrow (one week), and this time, I will do the increases veeeerrrrryyyy slowly.

She's doing great, feisty, bouncing around, looking for me with interest of getting more of that honey and bread I give her now and then....she thinks it's a reward for something.

She got a toenail trim, fought like crazy (which means she is feeling good), is eating, no problems. Bgs. stable around the high 100's-low 200's (231 this am at fast, 168 at noon, and 221 at 5pm). So 4.5 U it is...indefinitely or until I see a steady rise and consistently higher numbers. Interesting huh, how this all works. Johanna, you're right, stress drops the Goose instead of raising her bgs. and she's in for more of the same this weekend. I'll leave that for another post.

Is " Gummie" due for a panel Dee?. I would have one done. I agree with Dawn on that one. It would really put your mind at ease to know everything is OK. JMO

Killian needed almost 10 units of insulin less after his last Pancreatitis attack..
I stayed at 31 units from 41 units till the end....
Every dog is different and absorbs insulin differently...

My mom went to the hospital tonight and I just got in...
As for the hypos...Yes I agree that you went up to soon with the insulin....
You were also away again this past week and it seams there might be a pattern there....
I think maybe the stress of her being in unfamiliar surroundings ( and blind) has to be stressful)
It just also can be she was never fully regulated from the last hypo and then went away again...
So yes cut the insulin,,, Keep testing her and keep a record of her BG ...
Let us know in the morning where she is at with her numbers...
Maybe a visit with DR Mike is in order.....
