Hi all, The insulin etc are going to a very nice lady Kathleen for her very deserving, lovely girl Spice, with the great help of DigDaz (Daren) for the transport, Just great what people can do for a good cause and Spice is a very lucky girl with Kath and Jan in her corner and some good vets :rolleyes: and hope she keeps getting stronger and healthier. Cheers Mark

Yes I will see at the Post Office tomorrow if it can be sent. I read about Spice before I registered and then I tried to search but there where to many hits to read through. I will send her a PM tomorrow if it is possible to post it. Maybe over night packed with dry ice? We used to get 1 x 25ml ampule at a time also but we found that by the time we got to about 1/2 or 3/4 of the way down it wasn't working as good so the vet thought that the air drawn in while you take some out was affecting it some how so we started to buy it in a box of 10 smaller 2.5ml ampule as it would stay good, fresh or something like that, and it seemed to work better to the end. Also found the chemist cheaper for needles and syringes than the vets thats why we bought them by the box. cheers

You are right about the prices they charge I think it was about $75 for the last lot of 10 of the small bottles and I have 9.5 left and 112 needles and almost 100 syringes (people ones as the vet ones where dear and they couldn't get them at one stage so we went to the chemist) I did ask the vet but they just said to bring it in but I'd rather give it away to some one who can use it as they might sell it again. The ashes are easy just put it on the visa with the rest of her last vet bill , Missus said she was expensive to the end but we love her as she was like our child as we don't have children, her nick name was the $10.000.00 dog. We are thinking of putting her with the missus fathers ashes as they were good friends when she was young no one would know but us.

Yes we tried right to the end when we decide to put her to sleep as that was the best for her also. We took her everywhere we could even on a houseboat 4 times over the years which she loved going out on the banks and roaming around. Just picked up her ashes today from the vet and thinking of where to bury them. Also if her things can help anyone further away and can arrange postage if it can be would be OK to just thought closer could be picked up or dropped of. Cheers

Thanks baifra, a very sad time for us as she was our baby girl. She had a hard life from a pup, 4 knee ops on her back legs and then when she got diabetes she went blind in about a week due to cloudy lenses I think its called cataracts but we had that fixed with lenses implanted when she had her cataracts removed. WE HAD A HAPPY 10 1/2 YEARS WITH HER. Cheers Mark

Hi All I'm looking for someone with a diabetic dog that is using canininsulin but live close Adelaide. Why I am asking is that our poor kloe (Maltese x) has passed after a teeth cleaning at the vet and had kidney failure due to complications from the anesthetics. And I would like to give some of her stuff to help someone else out with there dog instead of giving to the vet or throwing it out. Please send me a PM for details. Cheers Mark
