Poor Pepe'

Pepe is our nearly 11 year old Min Pin, who, some say, is the most spoiled dog on Earth. Recently, he's been having trouble holding his water, especially during the day, and sometimes at night, and he just plain acts like he just doesn't feel well. Dr Pooh phone diagnosed and dropped off some anti-biotics, and he seemed better a day or two, then back to the same problems. So, since it was time for his annual shots, we made and appointment and trip to Reidsville yesterday to see Dr Steve. Steve was proud of him having dropped a few pounds (down to 20 from a high of 26, but still should be less than 15). He poked and proded, even checking his prostate (YOW!). And, after some bloodwork, diagnosed my dear dog as a diabetic. His sugar should be no more than 110, and he rang in at 330. So, now he has to get an insulin injection every morning. Good grief! What we do for our animals...
