Need help with diabetic dog
This might be long so please bear with me. I know there are a lot of animal owners on this board and I really need help.
I am keeping my parents min. schnauzer while they are on a cruise. She is a diabetic and has to have insulin shots twice a day. Normally when my parents are gone for several days they have a house sitter who takes care of the dog, but the last time they were out of town "Abby" had 3 seizures and they ended up coming home early. the vet thinks the seizures were due to her not eating due to missing her mom. Also so the house sitter works full-time and is not there during the day to give her her snacks. She eats 30 mins. before her morning shot and then gets a couple of snacks throughout the day, a hard boiled egg, a couple of pieces of deli chicken, or a little celery and broccoli.
She eats a mixture of canned food as well as dry dog food. When I have kept her in the past she would love to eat my dog's food (all dry) but now she won't touch it. I can't get her to eat any of her regular dog food. In the past I could sometimes hand feed her and she would eat but now nothing. My mom really stressed that she needed to eat her dog food especially the dry food even if it is my dog's food. In the bag of snacks that she sent there was a small chicken breast which we gave her part of for a snack last night. This morning she wouldn't eat her normal food so I gave her the rest of the chicken breast. she gobbled that down and then within a minute threw it back up. We checked her blood sugar, the meter just said "high" and per my mom's instructions we are to still give her a shot and just cut back on her food a little. This was a little before 8:00 so I just now gave her a hard boiled egg which she ate and kept down.
I played phone tag with the vet yesterday and he is not in the office yet today.
I don't know what to do. As long as she is eating something that seems healthy for her do you think I am doing the right thing?
I was supposed to go skiing tonight with my family but am staying home with Abby just to be sure she is okay. There have been no seizures and we have had her since Sunday but parents won't be home until the 21 and I am beginnig to turn into a nervous wreck.
Any sugggestions are really appreciated. Thanks!
Cellulitis in a diabetic ??
Hey guys. My hubby is a stubborn, pain-in-the-butt diabetic who has a cellulitis infection in his left leg along the scar line from the vessel harvest for his CABG. I have BEGGED him to see a doctor but he insists his body can beat back this infection on its own. So, I'm not looking for medical advice because I KNOW he should get professional help, but are you guys familiar with such infections that have resolved on their own? Everything I am reading says he needs antibiotics to clear this but I'd love to be wrong in this case. It might keep me from having a nervous breakdown! 
Thanks bunches!
My diabetic FIL ends up in the
hospital all the time for cellulitis in his leg where a vein was harvested. He always needs IV drugs for that. One time my in-laws were on the road. They couldn't even make it home. They had to stop at midpoint in their 4-hour drive and have him admitted. He almost died. Thank goodness my MIL is a nurse and can recognize the signs early enough. He was getting septic.
I get floaters (sm)
not sure there's anything to do about them, but probably would be tempted to go see your eye doc about them. They told me if they get worse to have them checked out.
Floaters
The floaters I have are secondary to cataract surgery and lens implant. Dr. says there is nothing to be done about them. Sometimes I swear there are fleas in front of my computer screen!!
floaters
Could they be oocular migraines?
Diabetic cook book.. sm
I need some suggestions on a diabetic cook book that has relatively simple recipes. Any help would be great!
These floaters are driving me ...
crazy!! Have any of you had these and if so were they able to be treated and how? Seems like today in my right eye they are worse (I know they can go back and forth). I hope someone out there maybe has an answer to this irritating problem. Thanks.
Floaters are a symptom not sm
a condition. You need to find the source of the floaters. Once you find the "condition" causing the floaters, then they may resolve once the "condition" is treated. Also, I had two people tell me that Lasik did not work, and they are back to wearing their glasses. Have you tried this? Just trying to help.
floaters and flashes
I have both in my left eye from having severe uvitis iritis years ago. My ophthalmologist told me I will probably have retnal detachment in the future and said it looks like someone closing a curtain over your eye. Scared me!
Diabetic here. Low sugar = shaky, ill feeling and

Floaters in older age groups
are not uncommon. I have had these over a year but they have been having little babies today it seems like.
As a prior vet tech and diabetic, I wouldnt touch this

Are floaters connected to decreased balance?
Anyone heard of this?
Question about floaters, spots in eyes- anyone with this?
Ok, have had these checked out before and know I have floaters (really no treatment for those as far as I know) but when I got back from vacation here lately the floaters changed to very, very tiny little spots in 1 eye, looks like I am seeing gnats when looking at the monitor or say a white background, driving me crazzzzy. Am using some eyedrops for dryness but wondering if anyone else had similar. Thanks!
Old-fashioned ham with half the work and diabetic option~*~*yummmm*~*~
Pick out your ham
Pick your favorite mustard. (I like spicy swedish mustard)
place mustard in bowl about a cup or so (depending on how large your ham is)
add an equal amount of Brown sugar / Diabetics can use splenda
You want a paste that will cling to the ham. In order to achieve this consistency add pineapple juice to the regular mixture or diet sprite to the diabetic one and then smear this all over the ham. Place in pan, cover to keep in moisture and cook according your hams directions. 
I like to open it up and pour the juices over the ham. EVEN IF you dont like mustard you will like this. Try it it is VUNDERFUL muah lol
If you want more old time southern recipes shoot me an email I am happy to help
