Have a diabetic Pug in the house again. I'm fostering Sonny from last night through Monday evening, while the principals of the MidSouth Pug Rescue are at a "Pug Fest" in Milwaukee.
Sonny's about 9 years old, 20 lbs., and was diagnosed about 4 months ago. His previous owners, with 4 kids, turned the poor guy over to a rescue in Northern Virginia when he was dx'd. He lost his vision shortly after his diabetes dx, and the rescue group fronted the funds for his cataract surgery prior to a fundraising effort. These are wonderful folks with huge hearts. He had the surgery Tuesday, and everything looks very good.
Sonny's on 5U of Novolin N, eats W/D, ... now with crock pot chicken. His post surgery meds are:
Seems a bit thirsty, not too bad, but that's expected with the meds.
