It all started back in October. My dog got diagnosed with diabetes we were told that with treatment she would live a normal life. That would have been the case, if only we bought an at home blood sugar kit for my precious dog. I tried telling my parents but they wanted to keep going back to the vet for tests it didn't help that the vet outright denied this idea and convinced my mom to keep coming back, this costed a decent amount of money but they would not listen. Eventually we stopped even testing her blood sugar because of "costs" yet everything could of been cheaper had we bought a kit, and we would of known that her blood sugar was too damn high. 3 days ago my dog started vomiting. My brother happened to give both my dogs some meat and we assumed that was it. But my older dog kept getting worse rapidly by the next day. We took her to the vet and they gave us the bad news. Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Her diabetes was not rgulated. If only we bought the machine. she could have been here right now. It hurts and i dont want to bring it up because my mom is also in grief. I don't know what to do. All i can think about is "what if we saved her" She could of lived longer... But it was cut short. It was so sudden. We couldn't even prepare her a final nice day. Now all i will think about is that. That i could of saved her.
