What do you do for a living?

Years ago, I was a vet tech, then our first was born (he's 25) and I became a stay at home mom. IMO, we've been lucky, my husband's job allowed me to stay one, but now I guess I'm a stay at home wife

I'm going to tell you something, that maybe you already know , (yay!) but just in case you don't (and I think it's important enough to bring it up)
Your clinic may never see a basenji, but there are a lot in Minn.
If a basenji is brought in, and after a simple test is found to have glucose in its urine, do not assume, with no further testing, that it's diabetes. It may be fanconi, which is only determined by a blood gas test. If treated for diabetes, and it in fact has fanconi, that is probably one of the worst things that can be done.
I won't go into specifics, but knowing this may perhaps get a dog started on the proper treatment. Basenjis are known to have diabetes, but it's estimated at least 20% of them have fanconi
I'm sorry for barging in, but we here of so many vets that do the wrong thing, I just thought it was worth it to bring it to your attention
Happy Quilting!

I retired 18 months ago from a very large non-profit. I held many different positions in my career--from IT Project Manager, Human Resources Officer and Executive Director among others. I miss the people but don't miss the stress and being on call 24/7. I've just finished renovating my fifth house. I discovered this week that I have completed 11 quilt tops since I retired so I'm working on my machine quilting skills. I keep toying with the idea of going back to work part time so I don't drive my DH totally nuts but my sewing studio beckons me every day.

I have been an RN for 30 years and work in both a level I and level II newborn nursery-I get to watch babies be born all day. Most do well-I get to help those little ones that need a little assistance. Its a great job helping new Moms/Dad learn how to care for their new babies and our future.
