    Bad news on my Dog....Dog has advanced Diabeties....Diabeitiac Ketoacidosis.......bottom line for a dog of advanced years they can prolong things but will include monthly treatments and health will deteriorate....I said I wanted dignity for the dog, antibiotics  for now,because sugar levels can be signs of something else, and she gave me something for stomach......It is a said day, my research team.......new friend and drinking buddy coming up with alternate feeding methods and elixers.........Crushed up some cipro (antbiotic) and injected  via syringe back of mouth.........tow ounces of Boost in syring and back of the mouth....will repeat with Pepto later tonight........If Patches dies, he will die cared for and full...Said day but still hopeful

      Oh Kevin, I am so sorry.  I hope your dog get some good quality time in with you.  A friend of mine is having his dog put to sleep on Wednesday, I've been in his dog's life for six years, it's going to be tough.  If I was him I wouldn't wait until Wednesday (the only day the vet comes to our town), I'd take her to the next city and have it done now, she's been suffering all week.  It's so hard to watch...

      I tried force feeding      some stayed down, some came back.....going to put more meds in him in two hours .....let him rest overnight .......then do process over ...But feed him with bigger syringe.......I truly feel for your friend. My thoughts now are no more Dogs, this Grief can wear a person down.....

      It's too soon to think about right now, you've been through so much.  I can't tell you how many pets I've lost over the years, it seems it's getting progressively harder, the one I have now I'm the closest to, but I was extremely close to my granddoggy, I took care of him half his life.  He was "special", kind of like a Down Syndrome child.  I hope it's a longs ways off for you to have to face...
