Murphy's latest vet visit

Murphy and I just got back home after his trip to the vet. For the past month we've been going in every Saturday to have his glucose checked. He's been up lately and they have no idea why. Today he was up from 319 to 329 so they bumped him up from 30 units of insulin two times a day to 32 units two times a day. This means another prescription of insulin was called in and larger needles since his only hold 30 units. After that I took him to the gas station and we drove through McDonalds. I decided what the heck his numbers were up so he got to have a few fries as a treat. He never gets anything but dog food anymore. Now he's sound asleep after his big " outing". Just thought I'd let all of you know because a few have asked how he is doing. Also there is no news from the apartment complex so no news is good news. He'll be staying and so will I. Hopefully that is the end of that. Now it's off to do cleaning so I can spend all day tomorrow sewing. I hope everyone has a good day and thanks for all of the concern for my fury friend.

I hope that they can get Murphy stablized with his meds soon! What a pain to constantly have to take him in and change the dosage. Keep us posted on the apartment and Murphy. I am happy that you haven't heard anything yet!

I don't blame you, I would have gave him fries too. I feed the horses cereal for a snack, Richard swears that they will end up being diabetic. I sure hope Murphy gets to doing better. I'm not really attached to our dogs, but I know how I would feel if it were one of the horses or Jim. Kristie

I wish they knew why his numbers keep rising so that could get it to stop. Murphy is such a cutie and he is sooo sweet he doen't deserve this. I am sure he LOVED the french fries. I say the word french fries and Emma's ears perk. She has known what they are since she was a pup. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the higher dosage works for him. Keep us posted on how he is doing.

I hope Murphy gets to feeling better soon. Have they thought to do other tests to see if there is something else going on?

Peaceful Vacation Day

Today I took a vacation day since I had a Dr's appointment. First I went and all went well then this afternoon Murphy went in for another glucose test. He's finally on the way down. They upped the insulin a little more and we go again in 10 days. This is such a long process but I'd better get used to these ups and downs.

I had so many plans for today. I was going to straighten up a bit and then do some sewing. Wellllllll, I came home this afternoon and I fell asleep and slept my vacation day away. Guess I really needed the sleep. Keep your fingers crossed that I get something done this evening.

So glad that Murphy is starting to do better. Have you heard anything else about them trying to ban him from the apartments? Sorry, you didn't get finished what you had planned, but sounds like you needed the rest. I know I have slept on and off all day. Kristie
