Hello,<br>
My name is Carmen.<br>
I have been a member of the drool for many many years, and I read the drool quite often. <br>
I have 2 bassetts, my male Oscar and my female Pelusa.<br>
Oscar has had HGE, so bad I thoughd we were going <br>
to lose him. This was like four or five years ago. However it does come back. Oscar has<br>
had it 3 times. What we do is that at the first sign which is diarea longer than normal (and <br>
I said that because My dogs tend to have diarrea on and off.) We take him to the vet for<br>
antidiarrea shot and antibiotics. However the last one he had was like three months ago,<br>
and after he got better from the HGE, he started drinking water like crazy and peeing like crazy.<br>
We took him to the vet and his suger level was 600. The vet said that the HGE was <br>
so bad that it could have affected his pancreas and killed the cells that make insulin.<br>
We are still trying to stabilize him, but he still over 300. He is getting 10 units of insulin every<br>
morning now.<br>
He is in very good spirits and does not even feel the needle, I feel it more than he does. However, <br>
he does not like it when you try to take blood from him to check his sugar, and he lets us know.<br>
I would like to know if there is any kind of patio doggie doors suited for basset hounds, all the<br>
ones we have found are to tall for them, and he has to use the bathroom a lot.<br>
Please let me know, you can e mail me personally. I'm in the Valrico area east of the Tampa bay<br>
area in Florida. <div id='MAILCIAMB024-5bb14a1abf7f145' class='aol_ad_footer'><br/><font style="color:black;font:normal 10pt arial,san-serif;"> <hr style="margin-top:10px"/><B>A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. <A HREF=http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100126575x1221823249x1201398664/aol?redir=http://www.freecreditreport.com/pm/default.aspx?sc=668072%26hmpgID=62%26bcd=MaystepsfooterNO62>See yours in just 2 easy steps!</A></B></font> </div>
