Ask Dr. Joi – Urine Cultures

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2016-12-29T16:02:45-05:00Updated: June 5th, 2014|Pet Care, Pet Newsletter|4 Comments

“Tell me why my vet wants to run a urine culture when the urinalysis was normal?”

Boy, I’ve gotten this question several times this year! Running urine cultures is part of the “routine” tests your veterinarian will want to test on at least a yearly basis for a diabetic pet. Many internists suggest doing a urine culture […]

When I joined the ADW team in 2011, my charge was to help educate our ADW clients about pet diabetes. I love interactions with our clients, and the emails I receive are a great source of future articles. I love being part of the ADW team and sharing my experiences as a small animal general practitioner […]

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2018-01-25T15:21:21-05:00Updated: May 1st, 2014|Pet Care, Pet Diabetes, Pet Newsletter|8 Comments

As a veterinarian in South Florida, I can’t tell you how many itchy allergic pets I see every week. I see pets with food allergies, flea allergies and a lot of pets with hay fever (aka atopic dermatitis or atopy). When veterinarians first see a pet with allergic dermatitis we must first figure out if it […]

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2024-07-12T20:55:49-04:00Updated: April 17th, 2014|Pet Care, Pet Diabetes, Pet Newsletter|0 Comments

A blood glucose meter kit is designed to give the user everything needed to begin immediate blood glucose testing. The starter kits have a meter, a lancing device, lancets, test strips, instructions and the little noticed bottle of control solution. Folks usually get the starter kit and are so nervous and excited to check Fluffy’s […]

Interpreting Glucose Curves

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2016-12-29T15:58:00-05:00Updated: April 10th, 2014|Pet Care, Pet Diabetes, Pet Newsletter|0 Comments

When I first tell my veterinary clients with diabetic pets that I’m going to show them how to check a blood glucose on their pet (so that they can do so at home), I’d say a good number of them get a “deer in the headlights” look. It’s almost as dramatic as the look a client […]

Diabetes Remission in Felines

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2016-12-29T15:57:59-05:00Updated: April 3rd, 2014|Pet Care, Pet Diabetes, Pet Newsletter|0 Comments

As a veterinarian, I can’t help but associate diseases I hear about in humans to similar diseases in pets. The typical layperson does likewise in associating pet diseases to their human counterpart diseases. It’s a sign of intelligence to extrapolate what we already know to an issue new to us, but it can occasionally mislead us. […]

Insulin Pens – Part 1

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2023-09-26T09:43:05-04:00Updated: March 20th, 2014|Pet Care, Pet Diabetes, Pet Newsletter|0 Comments

Many, if not all, of the human insulins sold in the United States come in “pen” applicators. These pens are a more discreet way of injecting oneself in a public location without drawing undue attention that a needle and syringe can bring. Humans, especially kids, often don’t want to stick out from the crowd as abnormal […]
