Re: Newly Diagnosed and Confused
With jesses procedure for her infected sak the vet suggested to just use gas to put her out . It was a tad more expensive but it doesnt have the affect of typical anesthesia would have and said it would be much safer way to do it and i agreed . The procedure went well and she woke up not so groggy and was able to eat he meal and get insulin an hour after . I was surprised that she had an appetite
As far as insulin i actually did not know we were going to do the procedure that afternoon as i thought he was going to have a look see . He said we can do it now and i agreed . Check blood sugar and it was at a time when active insulin was fading for jesse so i wasn't to worried of going to low
Many caretakers with there dogs getting anesthesia for a procedure do reduce insulin . Some dont give it at all especially if not fed
For jesse i only give her one meal a day and i have been giving her a reduced dose of insulin without food for a long time so i dont have a problem with that
So is very possible one meal and dose can be affected with a 2 meal system so you have to account for that . Remember having sugar higher during and after the procedure is ok
