Happy Birthday Jesse! She is one lucky girl to have had you to keep her diabetes on course. My vet always said that the key is to longevity is to be so in tune with your dog that you can sense the smallest thing and adjust. Of course, having that instinct of what works is another factor. Amazing job!
Maggie - 15 1/2 y/o JRT diagnosed 9/2007, Angel status on 6/20/16. Her mantra was never give up but her body couldn't keep up with her spirit. Someday, baby.......
She is 14 years young today . She continues to amaze me . She is not fly girl anymore ( she would get a running start to jump into the bed ) She tries but misses the mark . She has slowed down a bit which means i can take her off her lead and let her walk free in the desert and not to worried of her running off to the next mountain chasing a rabbit
I have removed the final element of her raw diet which was the vegetables . I cook them now to help with digestion . I also added a milk thistle she had some stool problems earlier in the summer which seems to have been corrected
Her epilepsy including seizures and fear of loud bangs seems to be completely gone . thats been on the decline for some years now . Maybe the higher sugar in the brain may play a part but who knows either way we are very appreciative for that .
still goes for her 2 walks a day and one of them is chasing rabbits . She has lost some neighborhood friends . Thats the problem with getting old and outliving others but there is always new ones that come along
She is doing well and continues to enjoy her dinner and the things beagles like to do which we are happy about
Jenny: 6/6/2000 - 11/10/2014 She lived with diabetes and cushings for 3 1/2 years. She was one of a kind and we miss her.
Thanks amy a judi . I think its more of an art than a skill
The thing is i dont mind taking care of her and i think she enjoys all the attention but i believe she believes there is nothing wrong with her

Hi,
I was reading some of your posts and I wanted to thank you for sharing. My Max at the age of 4 was diagnosed earlier this year with diabetes and it gives me hope when when I hear of not only about how long Jesse has lived but that its obviously been a happy and active life.
Best wishes to you both!
Susan
Max is a 17lb terrier mix. Born 1/2014.
Diagnosed diabetic 3/2018.
8 units Novolin N twice a day.

I am quite surprised . When she was diagnosed it wasnt a very good prognosis . I thought she may live 6 months . I had one vet tell me i was harming her but i stuck with what i believed would work and just stuck with it
I am glad she has a happy dogs life
