I fear it may be the DM, though.

Our vet has asked us if we want a referral to another clinic.
How could we not?

Hey Zippy-Kat ~

Did you try that "folded-under paw" test I told you about?
Do it several times a day; and over many days. When Bowz was first diagnosed with DM,
he had many days where he showed no symptoms and could pass the
"folded-under paw" test with normal reactions.

Toward the end, his left rear paw could never pass the test, and his right
rear paw and leg started acting up on "bad days".

I cried a LOTTA Tears over that lil Fluff-Mutt.

I sure do *miss ya*, Bowser!
