Guest guest Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I don't know if I have ever seen anyone ask exactly what happens to your body when you dump. Does anyone know? I know you feel nauseous, sick, weak, etc. but what happens inside of your digestive system and body that causes this? Also, I just wanted to say I learn so much from this group and it has benefitted me a million different ways. My dog is diabetic and 2 days ago she was weak, wobbly and walking as if she was drunk. I immediately decided she might be hypoglycemic and began hunting for something to give her with sugar in it to push her blood sugar up. Took me 15 minutes because I don't buy ANYTHING with sugar in it because it makes me dump so bad. Finally found a bottle of syrup in the back of the fridge my niece bought for some pancakes she made. I never thought I would be panicked over not having any sugar in the house- ha. Took her to the vet and I was right, her blood sugar had dropped way far down and we adjusted her insulin dose as a result. Besides being diabetic, she has glaucoma, cataracts, a detached retina and now they think she has Cushings disease. Anyone with a dog with Cushings disease and any info on it please feel free to drop me a private email. I have had dogs with cancer, a stray with heartworm, allergies etc. but no Cushings so this is a new one for me. Thank gosh my other 2 are healthy. Anywhoo... thanks for the info, it sure helped me with my pooch Thursday night! R in Nashville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
