Hello,
My sweet 11 year old girl Sophie was recently diagnosed with cushings, then diabetes. Last weekend she went into diabetic ketaciodosis. She was in the hospital for 4 days. They said she could go home last Monday. They had me giving her 2 units of insulin. They also told me she will be a difficult case because she has cushings and we have to treat the diabetes first. I was committed to doing all of this. However this week has been rough. She did eat and her excessive drinking did not stop. She kept having accidents and it's just been very tough to watch her go through this. Today she's taken a turn and I think I may have to euthanize. It just doesn't seem like a good quality of life. I know it takes time to regulate but I fear the cushings is causing even more complications.
I love this forum, there is so much support here and I really need some right now. I am struggling with this decision.
Thank you! Sophie's mom.
