.What could be
sweeter then a diabetic pet?
Hayley was diagonosed with diabetes on May 1, 2002 at 6 1/2 years old.
She was a wonderful show girl who gave us one beautiful litter of all
black
babies after she became a Champion of which we kept a son(Lucas) to
go on
with. Hayley is my life and I love her dearly so will do what ever
it takes
to keep her alive and healthy. Diabetes is very expensive, her
strips run
42.99 for only 50 of them and I test her daily at least 5 times and
do a
curve every two hours each day of the weekend, the test kit ran about
76.00
and her Humulin N insulin is running from 26.00 to 30.00. She
is on 11
units twice a day and we have had a very hard time regulating her,
she was
spayed right after the diagnosis but it has not helped her much.
I have been
to three vets and two specialists and we are still struggling to help
get
her regulated. I don't go to many dog shows now as she is my
life and she is
what is important right now so her sons Championship will have to wait.
She
is not out of my sight much at all, lives like a queen and sleeps in
my bed
with me. It has changed my life a lot as I rarely leave the house much
except
for very short periods of time as I try to stay close and test her
each time
before I leave but it is okay, I would not have it any other way right
now
just wish I could get her regulated. When she was first diagnosed the
vet
said to me your life will be tied to her now are you sure you want
to treat
a dog with diabetes and my answer was " She is my life and I will do
what
ever it takes to help her"!!!!! She is and always will be the love
of my
life. Ch. Nightwind Eagles Halo "Hayley" owned, loved and spoiled
