    *Update* Frisk could use some good thoughts.


    My little guy seems to be hitting a rough time.
    A few weeks ago he began peeing the bed at night, so off to the vet we went. He was diagnosed with incontinence, and was put on Proin. It took about a week until it seemed to "kick in", and all was fine.

    Until this past Sunday.

    He has been tired a lot, we have noticed he has lost a bit of weight, and his eyes have been really goopy lately. He gets these huge eye-boogers frequently throughout the day. One night he was kind-of moaning in his sleep and that day he hadn't ate much, so the next day he went to the vet again. That was yesterday. The vet thinks he has an upset stomach and prescribed some meds (Metclop? I am not sure.. I can't read his handwriting very well).

    Yesterday he was pretty bad. He hardly opened his eyes and just wanted to sleep. When we tried to give him his meds he would regurgitate them immediately afterwards. Today is a bit better. To my knowledge he has kept down his medicine but still isn't great.

    Basically, if he gets worse, or if he isn't better by the end of the week he will be off to the vets again for some blood tests. I am so scared something worse might be going on. This dog means everything to me. It kills me inside to see him not being himself. I just want him back to normal.

    Thanks for listening. I really needed to get that off my back, as it has really been bothering me.

    Just a quick update...

    Last night Frisk puked in my bed 3 times and then 2 more times after he got up, all of it being that icky tar-like kind. Mum is taking him in to the vets again today when they open (in around an hour). Hopefully I come home to a firm answer as to what is going on.

    Thanks a bunch for the well wishes.

    Thanks a bunch.

    Mum took him to the vet and they wanted to keep him overnight on an IV, as he seemed dehydrated. They took the blood test today and we will find out what it reports tomorrow. Coming home and not being greeted by my bestest buddy was really hard. I have been crying off an on since I have gotten home. My sister called not too long ago and they said he was doing fine, which is good to hear.

    If you don't mind, keep on keeping him in your thoughts. Its really appreciated.

    Aww, I know it's hard not having your baby home with you. But hopefully he will get all better at the vets so he can be home with you and feeling better.

    You and Frisk will be in my thoughts.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    **Update**
    First off, I can't find the words to say how much your well wishes and prayers mean to me.
    I am truly thankful!


    Blood tests came in today and it turns out Frisk has diabetes. When they first found out it was in the mid-400s aka very high. Last we heard they got it down to around 400, which means he has to spend yet another night at the vets. We aren't certain when he is coming home... On top of that, he has a sinus infection, which was the cause of his boogery eyes, which eventually developed into a runny nose, as well. On top of that he has an infection in his pancreas. Poor guy, it really hurts me to see him like this. He has lost some weight, as he isn't eating.

    I went to visit him after school and brought him his stuffed dog he has had since his first day home. Pardon the blurry picture, it was the best I could get. He looked so very pitiful, and seeing him all alone in the kennel broke my heart. My mum and I stayed with him for a good 20 minutes, and during that time I gave him a million kisses and let him know PT is praying for him.

    This is really hard on all of our family. I have never seen my mum cry except for the times when really really close family has died. Today she teared up when she saw Frisk. I was amazed, but really moved by this. Keep in mind, my mum vows that she doesn't love any animals(but you know that is just a cover up... she loves them just as much as I do).

    Again, thanks so much for thinking of my boy. It means a lot!

    That's great news! Hopefully Frisk will be home soon! I will continue to pray for him.

    I'm sorry I didn't see that thread earlier. I don't really stick around Dog Health much. I am so glad Frisk is now a bit better, that's great news. It looks like being with you helped alot.

    Poor Frisk - having a rough time - aren't you boy???
    How old is Frisk? I had 2 diabetic Lhasas - both diagnosed when they were about 10 years old - and both did well on insulin for another 5 years after that!
    Hope things are looking up and that Frisk is feeling better and home soon!
