ha ha ha. That's what I thought. I'm really slow on the uptake. Today was incident #3, I wondered last week.

I like coming home to the house smelling good but I can start doing it overnight if it is making her uncomfortable. poor weird baby.

Ahh, don't you love the little puddles. THAT part I don't miss!

Re: Jenny 11 y/o Poodle

Ali's bg would get further 'off' than usual on crockpot days. And Carla used to talk about food smells triggering pancreatitis. I'd say a link could be very possible. I got to the point where I put the crock pot out on Tim's toolbench in the garage so the smell wasn't as strong, lol.

Hmm...sounds like a good excuse for take out! I may use that one- can't cook tonight, it might make Maggie sick!

Re: Jenny 11 y/o Poodle

have any of your female dogs ever had bulgy skin around their privates? Jenny has been battling this since her UTI's hit her. When we went to the ER vet he told me we could have the extra skin surgically removed. (not really something I want to put her through)

her regular vet told me to keep it clean and use a cortisol cream to give her some relief which is what we've been doing. I have also cut back on her food a little since she isn't getting much exercise up here on the frozen tundra.

last night I put the cream on her and this morning her blood sugar was 428. she acts peppy so I'm not panicking just wondering if this is another unique Jenny thing.

Re: Jenny 11 y/o Poodle

Don't know about the bulging skin thing... Haven't had to deal with that one yet but when tigs allergies go crazy I use cortisol cream on the little hotspots she gets. Raises her quite a but also but it's only for a couple days

Poor little Jenny, I wouldn't put her thru the surgery either

thanks Sandy. I think the cream does give her some relief. fatty private parts, only Jenny

Actually I had noticed this on Abby as well. I spoke with the vet about it once, and they said it was nothing to worry about, but it did look a little swollen.

Abby, however, did not seem to be bothered by it.

How is that girl of yours doing?

Re: Jenny 11 y/o Poodle

that makes me feel a little better barb. Jenny's bugs her.

She is doing ok. On days after the cortisone we are in the 400-500's, otherwise she is at a good level. She misses her walks but we've had such bitter cold temps; I just try to play with them more in the house.

She misses her favorite human on the planet, my husband, who is only home on weekends. Fickle female!

Still thinking of you and Abby. hugs, Judi

Re: Jenny 11 y/o Poodle

As a young dog, Soaphie had that surgery - to remove the extra skin around her privates. I don't think I would do it to a blue-hair though. She did fine - but she was young. Really helped to clear up her skin issues down there....

Re: Jenny 11 y/o Poodle

it just amazes me that such little things make such a big deal in blood sugar .

cant offer anything judi but support and hope for an easy decision on your part

thats the problem with choices you have to choose one

winter will be done before you know it

Re: Jenny 11 y/o Poodle

now I really feel less weird for her. Thanks Tami! I'm glad it helped one of your flappers! (the hats make them look like flappers to me)

Jessegirl, no one has made tougher choices than you. The vet did give me some ear medicine to use on her privates cause he thought it might not affect her blood sugar as much as the cortisol but I really wanted to give her relief so I used the cortisol.

maybe next time I'll try his suggestion. She can't be comfortable at over 400 blood sugar either poor girl. But she still tried to kill a stuffed animal.
