Yes, my MeKenzie was over weight. I had him on a diet since January. Cut all treats into 1/4's and cut down on his food (he lost weight) but the diabetes got hold of him. He literally got sick and died within 2 weeks time. I thought I was loving him by feeding him good food. He was such an adorable guy. I adopted him from the shelter 8 years ago. Little did I know at the time, I was harming him. This time with Tucker will be so much different. He gets his food measured out with very few treats in between. I was devasted when I had to leave MeKenzie to be put down that morning. I still don't remember driving home. Because of my supidity, he suffered and I will never forgive myself for that. |
