This explains a lot of things

Well, the last time Jamie and I were at the vet, the other vet gave him a shot of depo. We've been monitoring the sugar after the depo shots. I didn't know the doctor was going to give it and this time his sugar went sky high. We retested him this week and as soon as the insulin/needles get here, he will be going on insulin, just like mom. It explains why he gets the wobbles, etc. Right now you can't go into the vet's office but this will be one time that Jamie and I will be allowed in, so that they can teach me how to give him the insulin. Not looking forward to it. The vet looked at the diabetic foods and then I pointed out the chicken and the salmon, which Jamie is allergic to. For now, he's going to stay on his regular food plus the insulin. He's also going on vetasyl, which is fiber, to help get the calcium out of his system. Easy fix. Just sprinkle it on his wet food. It was here really quick too.
Jamie is sitting on the porch enjoying just looking around. He left me a hairball so I have to decide whether to clean it up wet or just scrape it after it dries. It's easier to just scrape it.
