Yesterday: I noticed my Jack Russel's breath smelled like model airplane glue! I recognize that smell from my "diabetic" Miniature Pinscher who has already passed on. Also note that for months now my Jack Russel has been shedding profusely. PROFUSELY!!! But yesterday... I also noticed that while he had been napping most of the day on my blue sheet, there was little to no shedded hair on the sheet as usual. So I pulled on his hair, in different spots all over his bod... and no shedding. NONE!!! None. Bizarre.
So I get him some dog cookies (natural, organic, homemade.... blah blah blah...) to lift his blood sugar a bit before he has a seizure.
Then I associate the fact that I have rather recently made note aloud to my associate that I see a pattern : Thin-haired women are always fat and love to eat, and have obvious blood sugar issues... (because they eat a lot...).
I make this observe/assoce because my very own hair has been falling out like leaves off a sweet-gum tree in the fall....
Ahhhhhhhhhhh........ says the witch doctor! One plus one is TWO!!!
That explains my shedding but not my dog's sudden drop in blood sugar. The only things that would cause that are excessive stress - (nope), excessive carbohydrates - (nope), or a food item that seriously affects blood sugar...... hmmmm.........
The mystery continues.....
