Hello again!

An update: we tested 7 times with Diastix, it was negative each time. We tested for ketones as well, there are no ketones in the urine.

Yesterday we collected urine and had it tested in the lab, again there was no glucose nor ketones found in the urine.

Is this good news?

We will do another blood test. The problem is that my vet is too advanced in her pregnancy to travel anymore, so she can't come to our apartment. What should I do:

1) wait for her assistent to come back from a trip on the 23rd this month and come to take the blood?
2) take Tommy to her office (she still works there in the mornings)? The problem with that is that Tommy freaks out VERY much when he has to go into the basket, and since blood sugar levels are affected by stress it might not be a good idea.
3) try and find another vet only to come and take blood (maybe they won't want that if it's not their case)?
4) buy a glucometer - but they are expensive and if Tommy turns out not to be diabetic we wasted the money.

Is it essential that the second blood test should be done soon? Or can I wait 10 days for her assistent?

Thank you for any insight!

Tilda
