Re: Bogie - miniature schnauzer
Hi Dawn,
I'm glad to hear Bogie is doing so well with his bgs! When does Bogie's insulin peak during the day? Maybe try giving him the pill a couple of hours prior to it and see if it makes a difference. I give Bo a fish oil capsule daily wrapped in a canned dog food bite. I don't know it if raises the bg or not, but I'm sure the canned dog food affects it. I usually wait until his bg has started to drop in the late am or at noon to give it. I try not to give it at night or near the meals.
Our biggest problem still seems to be the Levemir not lasting long enough on some days and the food spike that Bo can have with Levemir being slow to kick in. It's frustrating, example, this am at 7:20 (2 hours after meal and shot) his bg was 493. I had an appointment so I didn't give a fast acting shot. Good thing because when I tested him at noon, bg was down to 123! So, I gave him the fish oil plus 2 more bites of canned food (insulin usually peaks around 1-2 pm).
As far as Bogie having more activity, I would probably try the treat first and not mess with his dose if it's working. Sounds like they will have a great time, hope you and mom do too! Janie
