Hi Kellye!
Thanks so much for your reply. I was sorry to hear about Duffy. Itās all about āquality of lifeā ā not ours, but our baby. Duffy couldnāt have had a more loving mommy, who did everything in her power & beyond, to give him that quality. When we have pets with medical issues, we end up becoming almost experts about the illnessā¦.we become a sponge of information. Yet, even with all that information, things donāt go right. It doesnāt make sense, it becomes frustrating & we hit that wall. Diabetes is an UGLY disease that doesnāt play by the rules, even when you follow the rules completely. So, we just do our best & rejoice with our successful attempts & feel defeated with our failures. What a conundrum!
Kizzy is 13.5 yrs old. Same problems as Duffy. Diabetic 2.5 yrs & now hard to regulate. Treating Cushings with Melatonin & Flax Lignan. Seems ok. Thyroid meds. Feeding Royal Canin Glycobalance. I know how you feel about this food. =) Loss of hearing & nearly blind but he sure can find me in the house. Ordered Ketone test strips ā learned a lot from your blog! Takes walks with his housemates & is happy. Dislocated his hip 2 wks ago & had FHO surgery 1 wk ago. Still recovering but made it through the surgery ok. Just getting back to normal after having high temp for several days. Lots of Nurse Mommy care BUT I would do it all again to help him. We all learn to avoid the term āGads! What else could go wrong?ā Baring a brain transplant, Iāll do just about anything to help him. Face it, weāre goners but it canāt compare to the love & joy they give us. I know Kizzy probably isnāt going to be with me too much longer but Iāll do what I have to do in the meantime. As long as thereās a twinkle in his little eyes, heās ok. Itās all about quality.
It was a pleasure to meet another passionate & dedicated mommy. Youāre amazing! Enjoy all your babies, present & who are yet to come. Take care.
PS Tell me more about the Solid Gold food. Sounds good for weight gain but is it for diabetics?
