One of the dogs, as many of you know, has diabetes. That's Jerry (red collar). He's my little trooper. He's been pricked and poked with more than a thousand insulin shots. This week he was so sick, we thought we were going to lose him. We took him in yesterday to see Tiffany, my friend and vet, and she discovered he had a UTI, was slightly anemic with severe hypoglycemia. Having low sugar levels is just the opposite of diabetes. Apparently this can happen when an infection is present which happened to Jerry once before and landed him in the hospital. That time he already was being boarded at our previous vet's so we did not witness his decline. This time, Tiffany got his sugar levels up enough so he started to feel better and came home for the night.
All happening just before we leave for RI. So Jerry will be staying at High Point Animal Hospital with drs. Tiffany and Nicki (AKA Monica, also a pottery friend) while Benny will be going to South Suburban this afternoon where it's like summer camp for dogs. Jerry left this morning. Tiffany was so good and picked him up. I know this was the best choice for care because Jerry still has to get regulated. It's no wonder why we rarely go anywhere these days. Benny is wondering where his best friend and brother is…
