hi everyone. well.. where do I start? the vet called us today. and they said his bloodwork shows signs of very advanced diabetes. So after speaking with him on the phone, we took Petey back to the vet, to have a urinalysis done to see if he had "kero.. something" in his pee. It came back that he did. Which means he indeed does have the diabetes, they just dont know if there is another underlying problem with it.
So, we are going to start Petey on insulin twice a day at home. And also fluids/i.v.'s once a day since they said he is dehydrated even though he is drinking sooooooo much. So the vet showed me how to administer the insulin and the i.v. at the office. I was very very nervous about doing it, but it actually wasnt bad at all. He said it is very important to watch within the next four-six hours how he responds to the insulin. He is home now resting. They also put him on a special food. He said the next 24-48 hours will determine a lot as far as if it is just the diabetes or an underlying problem such as cancer in the pancreas or something. So just still keep him in your prayers that the insulin will produce good results in the next two days. He is such a good dog and such a trooper!!!!
Thanks everyone again
