We received meds for her eyes, diagnosed as "Dry Eye". Further to this the vet (a lovely woman) suggested she be tested for diabetes, as the pee had shown to have glucose within it.
Bloods were taken and sent to the Lab.
Sure enough, a few days later, we received a call from the vet, "Megan" (the dog) had diabetes. We were to return to the surgery and Megan would have her blood pressure taken and we would receive insulin, syringes, keto-diastix (for testing her pee), antibiotics and Glucogel. (In case she goes into annafalactic shock)
"Sharps" bucket and DVD booklets and the bill, for almost £350.00.. Ouch!!
We now embark on a journey into the unknown, as my wife and I are both disabled and funds are tight (to say the least).
Today,15/10/2013, was the first injection at home. Check food, check pee, clean eyes and treat, syringe in sharps bucket. Done.
Later today, we go back to vet to receive instruction on how to take pee test. As I have said, this is done and graph filled in.
Later, this afternoon, I take the wife to hospital for pain treatment for her Fybro-myalgia. All going on and I have to say that I am finding the thought of the future responsibilities daunting.
To cap all the above, my heating oil tank desperately needs replacement at £1200.00, and then filled at £800.00. How all this will be done is a mystery but "things" seem to have a way of sorting themselves out. Here's hoping.
If you've any tips on how to help Megan through this, make a suggestion on site.
Thanks to all who have wished us well, I really appreciate it.
