Do any of you also have diabetic dogs?

If so where and how do you test them? I have a Chihuahua that has some symptoms that make me worry and I was thinking of checking her BG too since I have gotten brave.

 

I don't have a dog, but here is a link to show how to test a dog:

Ick...for some reason that looks a lot more invasive! I am not sure what my little girl would think of that.

 

When my dog was exhibiting some of the same symptoms, I just tested her from the ear just like I do the cats. Of course depending on the breed, you may have to have the hair clipped short on the ears to make it easier to test.

 

My Mother's schnauzer is diabetic - Mother tests Annabelle's ear to get a bgl reading.
