My dog is really sick and that’s really sad. She’s lost a lot of weight recently, her ribs and backbone are showing. She’s 9, just about the life expectancy of a boxer, so it’s… tough. I don’t know what’s wrong with her.
I bought her some all natural canned food, thinking maybe her teeth are hurting her. She’s old and I don’t know if she’s ever gotten a legitimate tooth cleaning from the vet. I though it could be tarter build up, a rotting tooth… something. But she’s been eating the canned food mixed with a bit of dry for almost three days and she hasn’t gained back a pound. I think she might’ve even lost some more weight.
I’m really, really hoping for canine diabetes at this point. She fits a lot of the symptoms and I believe it should be cheap(ish) to treat. I’m already trained to give shots and fluids, so it’ll be no problem giving insulin…
I’m calling the vet Monday. I guess I’ll find out next week.
It’s not fair. I don’t know what I’m going to do if I lose that stupid fucking dog. I really don’t.
