Our Dog King is sick..

King was diagnosed with diabetes last week. It is truly not something we expected at all.
We noticed something was up probably in the first week of October. He needed to pee all the time and sometimes could not wait to get out the door before he was peeing on the floor, which most of you know that is not like King at all. So we finally made an appointment for him and he was treated for UTI with antibiotics... well 7 days of that and no change really. So we made another appointment. Turns out that he has Type I diabetes. We were shocked and never heard of a dog with diabetes. (Well I never had, Dan says he has before)
So here we are now, testing blood sugar and giving insulin to our dog. If you were to look at him, he looks fine.. He has lost a lot of weight this past month though. From the begging of October he has lost about 5-6 pounds.. so this diabetes is really bad stuff.
Oh and the cost of this is out of this world.. no insurance for our dog.. wonder if I can add him to our family plan?? LOL
