Do y'all know how hard it is to take a blood glucose reading from a dog at home? You have to use the lancet device and press really hard into the side of their paw pad and then deploy the lancet. Then you have to squeeze the pad and hope that you can get a blood droplet big enough for the device to work. You're supposed to be able to get it from the ear too but I can't get any blood there...it's like trying to get blood from a turnip!

Definitely understand. But we do what we do for them. And I know how much you care for your pets as well as your livestock.

They frustrate you, they make you mad, you loathe some (the horses), but you are right there for them because they are your responsibility and your heart.

Your a Farmer EleVan. What a life. Highs and Lows, but I doubt you would change one minute.

Hoping the future blood draws go better. Hoping all is well soon.

Well, I never have any problem getting the dogs paws to bleed when I'm shaving them, but I imagine if I *wanted* them to bleed....they wouldn't.

Glad the numbers are good, sorry it's a PITA to get the blood.
