We lost our dear Hamilton to diabetes, acromegaly, and kidney disease so many months ago, but it still feels like yesterday. We miss him immensely....
Poor Rooney, his bestest friend in the whole world, won’t eat. She just covers her food and wants to be held. I get it, sweet girl, I get it. This...
It hurts, but the day couldn’t have gone better for him. It was just the right time. He ate a ton of crunchies and forbidden sugary snacks, drank...
Our sweet Rooney continues to care for him.
Our sweet boy.
I think our borrowed time has run out. Hamilton is no longer eating and not wanting to move. We’ll give him more fluids tonight and some pain meds...
Oh Silver! Rally on little man! Wishing all good things for you both. ❤️
He’s completely over me taking so many pictures!
Hamilton has bounced back. I’m not sure how long it will last, but he’s been up and bright. He goes on walks in the yard (when the Florida heat and...
It’s so hard, but if we were in his paws and reached a point where we didn’t want cuddles, we didn’t want to be bothere, what would we want? I so...
We’re winding down here. As we prepare to say goodbye, we’re reminded of what a rock our little man has been for the family. Squeeze your babies and...
Last night Hamilton refused to eat. We were mortified. We tried hand feeding him, putting his food in the blender, and went through every can we...
We just received Hamilton’s follow up bloodwork and despite our best efforts, his kidneys are shutting down. His bun and creatinine are still rising...
I knew increasing Hamilton from 8u to 10u was risky, but I used his numbers from prior carb responses to calculate the best increase (safety and...
Happiest of birthdays to your special boy!!! Oh Juliet, you have such a tough case. Maybe you should have Silver read the stickies.
The biggest frustration I have at this point is the vets insistance that we ultrasound and even BIOPSY his pancreas!!!? That is crazy, absolutely...
I’m always intrigued by things that trip vets up. I wholeheartedly believe in B12 injections. He was just slightly anemic, but B12 will not only...
Calcium was in the normal range and we’re watching it closely. I should probably disclose that I actually consult for veterinary practices all...
He was quite dehydrated for his last labs, so we’re hoping the fluid therapy will give us better results Friday.
Yeah, I have a meter that posts it into his app, so I’m working off that. If I feel I need input on the glucose/insulin side, I’ll take the time to...
