Hi...It is nice to have support here. My Silky terrier, named "Silkie" is almost 13 years old. He weighs 20 lbs. He was diagnosed last week. He was peeing a lot; long streams, drinking a lot, and one morning we awoke and found he peed all over himself, poor baby! We rushed him into vet, and got the diagnosis. his levels were at like 540!!! She put him on Humulin, 2 units, to start. She said to come back in in 2 weeks to retest his levels, and adjust as needed. He has been acting normal, not drinking/peeing as much. All seems to be going well, for now. We feed him Natural Balance wet and dry, and R/D Hills wet, mixed in, for fiber.
My husband and I were overwelmed at first, but now it is getting to be a routine with the shots. I just pray he doesn't get catarats too badly. So far he has some cloudyness normal for a dog of his age.
We give him his shot at 7 am and 7 pm. But sometimes, we feed him his evening meal around 6 pm, and give him a bitmore right before his shot. We split it up. Is this ok???
The other thing, have you noticed if you ask two vets, they say different things?? One said, Silkie needs to do a curve next week, the other says, no, just a reading. It all gets confusing! We are grateful for everday we have with Silkie, and are hopeful he will do fine! Glad your all here!
Sincerely,
Silkigal
