I haven't been on for a long time, but I know that I can find a lot of comfort knowing that other yorkietalkers are going through the same problem I have been.
Mia just turned 6 on Monday and has always been a chubby dog weighing 19 pounds up to about 6 months ago. she was put on a low fat diet (hills I/d) and did lose some weight. she was down to 15 pounds and looked great. In June, she started to wet herself in her sleep and so I took her to vet and she had a UTI and was given antibiotics, but I was told that her sugar levels were abnormally high but that they would recheck in a couple weeks. but they I noticed that it was getting worse. dropped her off this morning for blood tests because she just hasn't been herself and was told that her levels were at 593 so she's going to be put on insulin. when I go pick her up, he will be instructing me on what to do, but I'm so scared of having to inject her. I mean, does this process get easy?
then to top it off, my other baby Kobe has an enlarged heart and a murmur. he's on medications for life too.
