Follow up- Vet Visit

DIABETIC!
That's what she said after the blood work she did, so for the next 2 weeks he needs insulin shots twice a day (and you can be sure it isn't going to be me doing them) plus on top of that we had to change his diet over to a special diet plan purchased from the vet store!

The poor thing had lost 11 lbs in a 2 week period.  No wonder he looked scrawny!

All you could see were those big brown eyes staring at you, his face was just ALL EYES!

Hoping that after 2 wks of insulin plus the diet change that he will be good to go with just the new food,(at least my wallet hopes that), but he is one of the family so you just gotta do whatcha gotta do!

Oh yeah, and the last thing she said was "Don't be surprised if he develops cateracts too!).

OH, poor baby. And I mean both of you!
Hope you see a difference in him quickly.
