Our visit went ok , not great but its a step in the right direction. Her sugar levels are 450 which is still very high but there has been some improvement from 532. Unfortunately she has lost about a pound in the past week. So, insulin level has been raised to 2 units and we are doing anything we can to encourage her to eat more. Preferably not poop but her regular dog food. We are trying puppy food mixed with her regular kibble. I chose to add it to all three pups food instead of keeping it separate from the other two pups and when they saw that new bag of food come in and when I started mixed it 50/50 they all got pretty excited. Quincy wasted no time separating his favorite from the rest, Ruby dug right in and Miah decided that she was going to pick out the ones she didn't want and toss them aside. So I had dog food piled up all over the kitchen and living room that eventually got picked over and gobbled up by one of the other pups. . . LOL Geesh !
Out overall goal is to get her sugar level down and her weight up. We need to do something to get her weight up. She's such a finicky eater and other than upping her food intake I am at a loss of what I can do. I am open to suggestions. Anything other than cooking for her which is something I have no interest in doing.
I am just so
not familiar with this diabetic stuff I don't know how to quite handle the food part of it and don't want to do something that would hurt her. What is
Safe and what is NOT? Please Help . .
Doc said it would hurt to give her some treats in between meals. Does anyone know a high calorie, diabetic safe Dog or Human treat that I could give her ?
