I am so frustrated. Bandit is barely eating anything. Another day in tears for me (plus I got caught speeding today - $181 for the ticket), I get so depressed when he doesn't eat.
The vet couldn't do the curve - he stayed high all day. I picked him up early. They did a test for Cushing's, and from what I have read about it on the Internet, it sounds like that might be his problem. The test results won't be in for a week, so they upped his insulin to 20 units and I don't think it's helping him. The symptoms are not going away. He has slowed down on drinking so much water, but only a little.
I don't know what to do for him. I try feeding him many different things and he refuses almost everything. Tuna, the Mighty Dog that he has been eagerly eating in the past week, Cottage cheese, hot dogs, baby food...he is not eating it. I finally took out the chicken I use on my salads (the stuff that costs $5.00 for a little package) and he ate a few pieces of that. He ate a little bite of a Meaty bone dog treat - that was it. He vomited this afternoon and all it was was foamy yellow stuff, because his tummy was empty. I am so afraid if he doesn't eat, he will die.
I am starting to wonder if putting him down would be the kindest thing for him. I hate this. Bandit is my first dog. I don't know if I can do this.
