On March 20 my dog Koby went in for a teeth cleaning. That went ok, so I was able to bring him home after 3 hrs. The vet called later in the day and said there were some high numbers in Koby's liver enzymes and glucose readings. He put him on Marin for 30 days and had another blood test yesterday. The vet said liver enzymes were down but not the glucose and informed me Koby was diabetic. My heart sank and I think the only thing that stuck in my head from the conversation was insulin and shots at home.
My husband and I have a meeting with the vet tomorrow for more information.
I want to make a list of questions for him to make sure everything is covered.
What questions should I start with?
I'm so sick about this. I've had many dogs in my lifetime, each one loved and of course spoiled. But I've never had to deal with something like diabetes. I did find a lot of information here today, but for me reality hasn't set in yet.
Has anyone had a second opinion in these situations?
Thanks for any input,
Annie
