my dog was diagnosed with diabetes last year, could it have been misdiagnosed?
we had to put her down, and the vet said that he was amazed she lasted that long because i guess it was really bad. she kept wanting to go outside to pee, so we thought maybe she had a bladder infection so we took her to the vet. in the room she peed a little on the floor. so the vet wanted to take a sample of urine, but she wouldnt pee anymore. so he took the pee that was on the floor as a sample, and they tested it. he said that there was sugar or something in her urine, that ment she had diabetes. based on testing her urine that was on the floor, could it have been contaminated and they misdiagnosed her with diabetes. my mom gave her a bagle that moring so could that have made it look like she had diabetes when she really didnt? i think that she had a blood test that day too and they said that she had it, but she did have a whole bagle that morning. she was over weight though, also she was a miniature poodle.
Diabetes is common, and not at all suprising in an overweight, elderly dog.
A bagel for breakfast shouldn’t have caused a misdiagnosis. Even so, your mom should have been upfront with the vet about what the dog had eaten.
Sugar in the urine plus sugar in the blood is a sure sign of diabetes. Pretty much rules out any other possibility. If they tested the blood and it confirmed the diagnosis, it also means the urine from the floor wasn’t contaminated.
They didn’t just put the dog to sleep on the spot just for having diabetes, did they? Should have been able to put her on insulin treatments. Diabetes is generally treatable in most dogs, unless they’re extremely old or have other complications.
A story on Chinese yixing teapot–Let’s drink to that
Sales of collectable teapots are helping to fund community development.
As a teenage boarder, Charlotte di Vita made necklaces to sell to her fashion-starved classmates, donating the prof-its to the Guide Dogs Association. By her early 20s she was selling wooden pendants carved in Ghana to London’s hip crowds and using the profit to fund projects in the developing world.
Di Vita is the glamorous Anglo-Italian founder of Trade plus Aid. Since launching the charitable fund-raising or-ganisation in 1992, she has been on the lookout for the perfect little something that could provide fairly paid employ-ment to developing-world artisans producing the aforementioned “perfect little something”, yet be so desirable to West-erners that they would spend repeatedly.
With her collection of miniature enamelled teapots, di Vita is reasonably sure she has hit upon that perfect some-thing. The miniature teapots, made in an isolated corner of China, were introduced to the buoyant British collectables market in 1998. Sales that year reached $2.7 million, and by the end of last year more than $3 million had been returned to the Chinese enamellists and almost $300,000 had been raised to initiate development projects in Africa.
All this without a background in manufacturing, marketing, art or charity. “I was 24 when I began Trade plus Aid so I hadn’t really had time to develop a background,” di Vita says. For Trade plus Aid to fund the development projects di Vita dreamed of, the crafts or artworks had to have broad appeal. And with enamelled miniature teapots she has found it, with minimum orders set at 5000 these days.
“The only way to make a difference is to appeal to Mrs Bloggs and to Lord and Lady Blah Blah,” di Vita says. The teapots, in 120 different designs, stand eight to 12 centimetres tall and are handmade. Part of their appeal in Britain, di Vita says, is that they revive an almost lost 18th-century art form. Each teapot is handpainted with images following a certain theme, such as Beatrix Potter, or works by Van Gogh, Cezanne or Klimt and, with collectors being collectors, there is much repeat business.
She suggests that collectors see the miniature teapots as particularly good value when enamel trinket boxes by British companies such as Halcyon Days and Crummles can cost 10 times as much as the £25 (about $70) teapots. Di Vita says many trinket boxes now use transfers rather than handpainting and if the teapots were made in the UK, they would cost hundreds of pounds. “Artists in Britian who can hand-paint would want £600 to £700 a week. Each teapot takes four days to complete, so you can see how expensive they would be.”
Following the success of the teapots, di Vita plans to add a range of miniature enamel tea cups and hopes to work with Paul McCartney’s wife, Heather Mills, to help children injured by landmines. “We’re talking with the holder of the Yellow Submarine licence about a range because that’s very hot in Britain at the moment.”
And di Vita does not care if people buy her teapots without a thought for struggling communities in Africa and Asia. “They are not buying because it’s a good cause, they are buying because they like them, but once they read the information about Trade plus Aid we get masses of e-mails from customers asking ‘how can we help?’ And it’s not an expensive product; they might otherwise have bought a Tiffany key ring for a friend but now they’ll buy one of our teapots.”
