adjusting dose) major problem with keytones.Border Collie type mixed
breed
Star was diagnosed in mid August with Diabetes after a very rough start
(6 days in an intesive 24 hour care hospital ) she came home
unregulated because she would not eat. After another week at home she
finally started to eat and we have been raising her dose accordingly.
We
also have been having a rough time with keytones her level has
been at
80 with urine testing. She started at 3 units 2 times aday and now
is up
to 13. twice a day Her keytones have gone down some sometimes to 15
but
her gloucose is up now! She also has severe allergies mostly a rash
on
her belly which was being treated with steroids the Vet and myself
are
sure thats what stared this mess. Despite all her problems she has
been getting
stronger and more active every day. She runs around playing
and jumping almost as if she isn't sick at all.
