Got a negative glucose reading in her urine today. Josie came home the day after dropping her off for her radioactive iodine treatment. The vet had glucose in her urine two days in a row and he wanted to send her home and for me to test her urine while she's relaxed and see if there is glucose. If negative then she's likely not pre-diabetic. And then I can take her back for her treatment. He is being very cautious as once she's been given the tablet, if something goes wrong, they can't touch her to help her. She is completely isolated. He thought the glucose could be stress, but he has to rule out pre-diabetes So I brought her home Thursday night. I finally got a urine sample this afternoon (Sunday). Her pH was 7, which is not good. It needs to be 5 or 6 (acidic). This was caused from the stress of the hospital. Tomorrow (Monday) I will contact the vet with the result and discuss taking her back for her treatment. I'm still undecided about taking her back. She came home aggressive and very distressed from her one day there. They hurt her with the testing, they used a needle to extract urine from her bladder. I've never seen Josie aggressive after a vet visit overnight or all day. It's worried me enough to think about pulling out. I've got overnight to thing about it.
