There are ways besides neck stick to check blood glucose. I check Booger
every month. I put Ferretone on his tummy and trim his nails while he is
occupied. Then I clip one nail just a tad short, just into the pink. I
get plenty of blood for a BG test and slap some Kwik-stop on the nail.
Booger could care less. He just keeps on licking Ferretone.
