Two days ago, my 8 year old blue heeler was diagnosed with diabetes. He was so sick that he went to go to a special canine hospital. They didn't know if he was going to survive. I have never cried so much. Today we went to visit him and he will come home on Sat if all is okay. I didn't like the doctors. They were just "matter of fact" another words, no bedside manner but yet they want $3,500.00 when we pick him up which is beside the point. I know that after he comes home will be challenging with the insulin injections. They said he would go blind which is real upsetting to me. I have done a lot of surfing the internet in the last 24 hours and have obtained a lot of information. I know that our budget will now include insulin which the doctor said was about $60.00 per month so he says. We already had him on a veggie diet which we will continue and his normal exercise.Thanks for reading. LOL :)
