Couldn't walk up and down the stairs, was peeing (or leaking since it didn't smell like pee) all over the house, drinking a ton of water and getting skinnier by the minute. I made the decision to put her down since I can't handle needles, and I can't lift her up and down the stairs. (I was 9 months pregnant) It was the hardest decision I ever had to make! I hope Teddy starts eating soon! and starts feeling better!Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061237531468065806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591089340797885298.post-8656905459484129382013-03-14T01:39:21.372-04:002013-03-14T01:39:21.372-04:00Hello- I am friends with Kay.

She is doing well, but we are still trying to get her exact insulin dosage regulated. Kay asked for some suggestions that might help Teddy eat. I'm not sure I really have a lot, but for what it is worth, Bella is currently on Hills Science Prescription Diet w/d with Chicken. She seems to like it, but she's never been overly particular about food. She also really likes a few frozen green beans as a treat for after getting her shot. They are good because they are high in fiber, low in calories. I have seen quite a few things online about people who make their own food for their diabetic dogs. It might work for you if you can figure out what Teddy likes. I would think though that it might be more difficult to regulate exactly what he is getting each day nutrition wise to keep his diet consistent, but if he will actually eat it, then that is half the battle. Our vet also referred us to this website http://caninediabetes.org/ It may have some helpful info, if you haven't already checked it out. I know there are a few links on the Easy URL Reference Guide about diet and nutrition. Best of luck with your beloved pet!Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061237531468065806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591089340797885298.post-66347740892444578882013-03-13T16:40:02.938-04:002013-03-13T16:40:02.938-04:00Thank you Kay.

I read that like with kids, dog will eat what you serve when they get hungry enough. Thankfully I've never had to put that into practice. Hopefully Teddy will learn to like his new food.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061237531468065806noreply@blogger.com
