I’m always up for learning new things, and in hindsight, I thought this was going to be a lot harder. I went conservatively on her sedation since she’s not feeling well, and I’m glad I did, as you can see she’s pretty out of it. She and her sister are a bonded pair that have been at the shelter for a year, so she’s also looking for a home or foster once she’s feeling better.

PART 4 of the Freestyle Libre Saga™️. Every day is a new gift of Problems that Cost Money, most of which could have been prevented if the company would have answered our shelter-specific questions.

Current costs for our shelter that have accumulated due to this situation:

$252.48 for 2 Freestyle Libres & 1 reader, none of which will give us usable data at this point.

AlphaTrak glucometer strips that could have been avoided, ~24, $24

Employee time spent trying to troubleshoot this mess, 17 hours (literally)

Cost of hourly employees for this time (one is me), $705

Unpaid hours for salaried employees, 4 hours

Running total = $981 + 4 unpaid hrs for salaried employees, all for only ~1.5 days of data that is usable, all of which came from the AlphaTrak.

What about asking for a refund, you ask? Haha, no, Abbott won’t refund for any reason if you’ve used it off-label.

PART 3 of the Freestyle Libre saga, which is truly the gift that just keeps on giving. Today that gift included tears.

Abbott

19/10/2026

If you use Freestyle Libre for your veterinary patients, here’s a PSA about Abbott, whose company policy is to *refuse to answer ANY questions* about veterinary patients. Not even medical questions - they won’t even answer questions about using their app if it’s associated with an animal.

If you know of an alternative for continuous glucose monitoring for vet patients from a company who will do literally *anything* more than nothing, please help me spend money more wisely with companies that value their veterinary patients and practitioners.

Also feel free to do the math on how much money you’ve sent Abbott’s way. 🙃

(And excuse the nasally speech - my allergies are bad.)

This was a fun meeting. Glad to be a part of it!

This was a fun meeting. Glad to be a part of it!

And we’re off! 🚀 VHMA 2026 is underway in Reno. We kicked things off with "Lead the Future of Your Practice with AI," a Pre-Conference Workshop in collaboration with Pawsitive Intelligence exploring how veterinary leaders can turn AI possibilities into practical action.

A big thank you to our pre-conference sponsors CoVet & Nationwide.

Happy Gotcha Day to Joy, my blind kitty. She had such a difficult transition from being picked up by animal control to entering the shelter, then adjusting to a home…but two years later, her name finally fits at a lot better.

Going to have to have a talk with my dog about leaving incriminating evidence at the scene…although the presence of cat toenails suggests perhaps she’s been framed.
