I understand so well your fears and depression, boscibo My heart sank when I read your first post then I almost yelped with joy when I read your last. (I'm at the library...you should have seen the looks on the faces of those around me)

When my Jingles (RB) was suffering from liver cancer, it was a constant battle to get her to eat anything...this was the Lab who would come running from upstairs each time the frig door opened!) On days she would eat, my heart would soar, then the next day, she'd eat nothing and vomit up whatever food she did. Bandit does not have liver cancer, but I just wanted you to know I understand exactly what you are going through and it's understandable that you are feeling his pain, both literallly and figuratively

I think the most imprortant thing right now is for you to get a definitive diagnosis. And if you're at all uncertain about your vet's conclusions/treatment, please, do get a second opinion. What has your vet said about his lack of appetitie? Has he given you any advice on how to entice him to eat, what foods to feed and how to regulate his meals according to his insulin dosage? mrufruf has given you a lot of good advice. As said, it can take a while for diabetics to become regulated. I know it's difficult to watch them not be themselves. But try and hang in there, go to the diabetic dog board for support and most of all, talk to your vet! She/he is there to help you and Bandit. I'll be saying lots of healing prayers for your precious Bandit and sending you all my support and lots of postivie thoughts. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Sandra
