My Chihuahua just got diagnosed with diabetes. This has been a tough diagnosis for me. My Dewey, is only 3 pounds 4oz. Since diagnosis this past Friday, he has become a picky eater? I am struggling on how to get him to eat before insulin. He eats Science diet powdered mixed with water & chicken. He has no teeth. He seems awfully skinny? Tomorrow i will attempt to collect urine to check for ketones. I bet that will be a challenge? I need to figure out a way not to have to go to the veterinarian as often, my finances are bad, I have spent $600.00 since Friday.
Please, If anyone out there can advise me for better tips, and solutions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.
