There was way too much going on with the insulin overdosing (dropped bg to under 20 with 1 dose of 40u insulin and put in writing for us to give that same dose twice daily) to know for sure cause and effect. Didn't see records till 4 months after the fact so had no idea at the time. Last recorded bg reading on my dogs records say Lo, and that was about an hour before he was sent home. He went in wild and lively and very vocal. Came come saturated in urine , had blood shot eyes, hoarse bark, shaking, could hardly walk, and stood with one rear leg held up. Did nothing but curl up and sleep. Was not my crazy dog at all. Insulin dose turned out to be about 50% too much and rebounding saved his life. Vet claimed it was honeymooning. Apparently the ny board agreed with him. Same vet also dx my 11 yr old dog with double ear infection and gave him same 7 vaccinations. Since changing vets he's never once had an ear infection and will be 14 in March. Dodged a bullet with that one for sure. My diabetic boys health went downhill quickly and recovered once the overdosing stopped and the hypothyroidism was dx. Had mobility problems which impacted in all 4 legs which began the day he came home from his overnight stay and got worse over the course of a year. Ultimately steroids helped him to be able to get up and walk and bought him two extra months. His insulin needs on steroids were 3.5u to 5.5u lev emir. Never vaccinated him again. He Crossed the bridge almost 2 yrs ago.
