Hi all, I have a very important question.
The last few weeks have gone like this:
6 weeks ago my Max's numbers spiked 350's
Vet instructed move up units of insulin from 18 to 22
Numbers still at mid 250's
Vet increased and increased to 26
4 weeks ago numbers were good - around 150
3 weeks ago he became lethargic and started periodically throwing up
Took him to vet - checked blood - glucose 59 - beginning signs of renal failure and given fluids to give once a week subcutaneously
We are continuously checking his glucose but a week ago it showed 23
We've been feeding more carby foods and karo and his units are back down to 18 so as not to drop it too fast, as per the vet, but yesterday his number was 24.
What is going on? Is it possible for a dog to become non-diabetic?
It would be a blessing, maybe Max could live out his final times with one less ailment. Our hearts are breaking..just don't know what to do.
Thank you for any feedback,
Jaimee
