Duchess non-update

My vet hasn't been answering the phone all day.

(The regular vet and the desk person / vet tech are both away for two weeks. I was told a different vet would be there. Apparently it wasn't worth getting a substitute for the desk person.)

I had hoped to switch vets with blood work numbers and a vet recommendation in hand, but apparently I'm switching right this instant without either one.

I've heard there is a way, though it's not easy. People use (apparently the human kind of) blood glucose test meters and strips. They take the droplet either from the ear or from a paw-pad, with the ear preferred for cleanliness.

This is all stuff I've read -- I obviously haven't tried it yet! :-/
