Testing Your Pomeranian’s Blood Sugar

Testing blood sugar whether in people or animals if a fairly similar process. If your Pomeranian has been diagnosed with canine diabetes then his treatment may include testing his glucose levels on a routine basis. If this is the case, ask your vet if you can use a handheld home glucometer. Some pet owners have found that the people version of the meter not only works better, but is also cheaper than ones made specifically for pets. To test your Pomeranian’s blood sugar simply take a blood sample from the front paw. Your vet may also suggest taking a sample from the ear as well. Make sure the blood drop makes it onto the strip and insert the strip into the meter as directed. It’s a good practice to compare your home readings with the readings by your vet. Contact your veterinary clinic San Jose Jacksonville FL if you have any questions.
