I don't talk about Molly much because she's been pretty easy but she is doing a bit what Bogie is doing, not willing to eat what I need her to eat everyday and adjusting her insulin is getting to be a pain too.
I curved her not long ago and her numbers were good, I was OK with it but I am going to ahve to do another one cause fasting bg's aren't so great.
I think part of her problem is the lack of choices I have for injection sites. She is compact and tight skinned and except for the scruff area I can't get hold of any skin. Her scruff area is fatty, not thick like we see after too many injections to one spot, just fatty. I may have to resort to injecting without lifting skin. Anyone else do this? You wouldn't think after all the shots I've given that this would bother me, but it does.
Any tips or thoughts on this injection site thing?
She isn't running high long enough to cause PU/PD and can be coaxed to play anytime but I'd still like to figure her insulin needs out better.
I may have to go back to home cooking to and feeding 4 things to 5 dogs. Argh!!!
If so I want to do something in loaf form or crck pot type foods.
Adding a note here about Bubba, the fibrosarcoma cat. He's losing weight and I can't get him to eat extra in an amount that will help. I got Fancy Feast and he might eat 1/4 of the can. He seems to feel good though but at 18 pounds this guy was a big cat but not fat. He was 15.5 last time at the vets and weighing him here a couple nights ago he was 14.7.
I guess I need to research fattening up a cat. You'd think I knew how since Shaq is 26 pounds!!!!!!!! One I can't put weight on and one I can't get it off!!!
