Re: Scruff the Schnauzer
Just another update on Scruff the mini-Schnauzer.
Well, he continues to do just fine considering his disease. He turned 10 this month.
He still goes hiking with us but the energy level is not what it was pre-diabetic and when he was much younger.
I continue to feed him Kibbles and Bits with boiled chicken mixed with a teaspoon full of low fat sour cream, twice per day. Frozen cut green beans and low fat string cheese are the snacks. I do give him a half piece of dog bone treat once per day.
I do not let his feeding time vary no more than an hour. He goes out in the morning for his usual roam through the rural neighborhood. Other than hot days, he stays out for about an hour, sometimes two hours. So, besides our weekend hikes, his daily routine provides plenty of exercise. He's loving the cooler weather now.
