Thinking it was the end of the road for Fred (turns 16 on July 26th), I took him back to the Internist for an ultrasound with a heavy heart. He...
Your comments were encouraging and I'll keep doing everything I can to give Fred a good quality of life. But how do you know when its time to stop?...

How do I update Fred's info? Weight, etc?
Wow! Rico really is handsome - and 17. Gives me hope! Fred looked a little better this morning, and ate a little more. Almost like his old self....
Thanks for your advice. Just got a call from my regular vet, who thinks there is something else going on and recommends an ultrasound to get the...

Its been a long time since Fred and I were here. He's been OTJ for six months, but now his creating levels are 2.8 and he may have an eye infection...
My vet mentioned an opthamogist, but we'll wait to see what the blood work says. At his age, I worry that there's not much that can be done....
Dilated eyes mean the pupil (colored part) of the eyes does not contract (get smaller) when in light or sunlight. It stays enlarged, while the other...
It's been a while since Fred and I visited this site. He's now 15.8, weighs 14.35 lbs and uses Prozinc. Most days his BGs are between 100 and 150....
