Our Alaskan malamute was diagnosed about 5-6 weeks ago. We've tried to follow the vets instructions to a tee but have yet to basically see any movement in his sugars. Very frustrating.
We are on humulin n. Started at 24 units or something and now we are up to 32. Our vet has just kept upping his dose every week. Again, unfortunately no real movement.
Food wise we've tried a few different things over the weeks. Almost all his life he's been on orijen 6 fish. We were told to try a different food since the sugars weren't going down. Hill's diabetic food is what we were prescribed. He ate that for a few days and then wouldn't eat it anymore. We are now on acana senior. It's apparently good for blood sugar and stuff like that. Our boy is 7.
Anyway, long story long...any ideas of what we can change? I'm pretty confident we are doing everything right. Feed only twice a day, followed by the insulin. We administer it carefully, keep the insulin properly stored...
We have the alpha track 2 to monitor from home. He basically sits at like 29-33 sugars.
We did go to a holistic vet who suggested CBD oil. We've been adding that once a day for about a week now, with no improvement.
What can we do??? Different insulin maybe?
Any suggestions/help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
