ROXIE had a bit of a sad past… She had never been to a Vet until she became sick.. The reason she was sick was because she was diabetic.. She was examined and treatment for her diabetes was explained to the owner… The owner refused to treat ROXIE and opted to have her Euthanized… Our Vet was able to have the owners surrender ROXIE to the Vet Hospital.. Then the call came to ISHAS to help. We have had so many diabetic doggies and know the routine.
ROXIE has now been with us for 3 months and getting her glucose under control was a battle….. Then something strange happened….ROXIE has a normal Glucose!!!! She has not had any insulin for a month !!! Her glucose remains normal… Now, we know that at some point she will become diabetic again – so she needs to be tested daily to see when and if she will need insulin. ROXIE WAS overweight – not anymore, she is on a special diabetic dog food. She is at a perfect weight. She is happy and healthy… She is only 7 Yrs. old and a PERFECT Lady.. She is totally Potty Broke and LOVES PEOPLE. We are now beginning to socialize her with a few other doggies… ROXIE has been a trouper through all of this.. She is up to date on Vaccinations and will SOON be able to be spayed.
ROXIE is a Healer Mix with soft gentle eyes… YOU WILL LOVE HER WHEN SHE HUGS YOU. ALL she ever wanted was to be LOVED.. we LOVE her.
I have NEVER seen a dog become non-diabetic .. it is VERY RARE. But ROXIE is special ya know!
Between ROXIE and PETEY (another diabetic doggie) we are going through A LOT of Glucose Test strips for our Pet Test glucometer… Donations for test strips would be GREATLY appreciated. If YOU want to order test strips for them – the last picture is the kind of test strips we need # 50 at a time AND the Glucometer we use. These are sold through many places including Amazon.
