Hi all!
I home test Lady from her ear. I use the onetouch ultra 2 meter. I don't use the pen that came with it. I could never get the setting right and Lady doesn't like the clicking sound. I was using a thin lancet 26 gauge. Sometimes I have to prick her ear a few times to get a good bead of blood - I was wondering if there is a better lancet I could use. I really don't like testing from the ear but I have no choice. She won't let me anywhere near her mouth - as it is I have to use a muzzle when I test her. I hate using it. I tried the tail but I could never get enough blood there. Any help would be appreciated. TIA
Luv,
Lynne and Lady
