I found out about a month ago that my 12 y/o pug has diabetes. Ive been giving him insulin shots at home. He has been taking 6 units twice a day. Yesterday I came home from work and he passed out, last night he started vomiting and has been vomiting all day today and he seems shaky. Im assuming his blood sugar is too low. I have a glucometer but Im having trouble getting a good blood sample from him. I tried his ear but just cant get enough blood. Im waiting for my parents to come over to help hold him and Im going to try poking the pad on his paw. If his blood sugar is low Im going to give him some caro syrup and try to adjust his insulin. Im going to skip his insulin shot tonight and see how he does with that. I have tuesday off from work so I think I might take him to the vet tuesday. Any suggestions on places to check his blood sugar? Thanks.
