Maggie - 15 1/2 y/o JRT diagnosed 9/2007, Angel status on 6/20/16. Her mantra was never give up but her body couldn't keep up with her spirit. Someday, baby.......
Rusty had his vet appointment on Thursday night and so far so good.
He lost a few more pounds but that is what she wanted since he was a bit overweight when first diagnosed.
Brought all my glucose readings and his insulin was raised to 61/2 units.
All in all he is still a happy pup and we are just waiting for the nicer weather to be outdoors more.
HAPPY RUSTY=HAPPY RUSTY'S MOM

Couldn't have said it better my first.
I remember how frantic I was back in March 2015 when he was first diagnosed and now it is just a way of life.
