Hi everyone! It has been a long time since I have been on Yorkie Talk, but need some advice/help. On Saturday 5/18, I noticed that my Max's eyes looked cloudy. Otherwise he was his same crazy self. By Sunday evening, he was bumping into things and could not see. I took him to the emergency vet and he said he had cataracts and was probably diabetic. I took Max to his vet on Monday and an eye specialist. From that Monday to today has just been a horrific blur. He needs cataract surgery, but can't have it until his glucose is regulated. Getting his glucose regulated is not going well and we can't seem to find a dosage that brings his level down enough for long enough. He is getting two shots a day, given by me. Throughout all of this, he has been an absolute ANGEL and the last few days he's started to really rebel against shots. He's jerking like crazy causing me to have to stick him twice and it is just awful. Today I cried all the way to work and didn't stop shaking until well after lunch. I couldn't tell you what I did at work today if you paid me. Tonight it was even worse and I ended up aggressively holding him while my brother gave him his shot. When I talk to my vet, she says I just have to do it. Well..duh.

Does anyone have any tricks that help? I give him some boiled chicken which worked in the beginning, but is not now. My brother is leaving in a month to move back to NY and I just don't know what I am going to do.

I apologize for rambling!
