Seriously?

Katie has not been feeling well as of late. We noticed a few major symptoms a couple of weeks ago. She was drinking LOTS of water. Like a whole bowl at a time. That led to her having an issue controlling her bladder which is no fun for anyone! And finally, we noticed she was just not acting herself...a little lethargic. So, we took her to see the Doc at Forest Creek Animal Vet Clinic. He evaluated her, poked, prodded, tested her blood and pee and about 500 bones later (no pun intended!), we went home with some antibiotics, a box of syringes and a bottle of insulin. Yup. Miss Katie Marie is a diabetic dog. It's crazy to even write the words "diabetic dog"! But, it apparently can happen and is not uncommon. She takes her two daily insulin shots like a Champ. We are in the process of several follow up visits to make sure her glucose curves are in check. The good news is, once we get her on the right dosage, the old Katie should be back and she'll be able to live a normal happy life.
