On Mar. 11, my 13-year-old female (spayed) chihuahua was diagnosed with liver problems. Hepato support was ordered and she was started on liver/kidney prescription diet (Hills) On the return visit Mar. 13, blood work indicated diabetes. Her glucose reading was very high, more than 600. She was started on 5 units of insulin. Subsequent visits saw her insulin raised incrementally to 14 units. Finally a reading of 69 from over 400 three days earlier. Insulin reduced to 13 units. Today, two weeks later, having followed our vet’s recommendations as closely as possible with no snacks or changes in diet other than the addition of a boiled egg occasionally to encourage her to eat the prescription food, her glucose reading is slightly above 500! What in the world could have caused such a tremendous change in the past 2 weeks? What could I have done wrong? (I’m afraid my vet doesn’t believe me.) Marked as spam
