Alexis' results at vet today...

What a tiring, and exhausting day this has been.

We brought Alexis into the vet's today for an emergency visit after she started peeing clots of blood today.  Preliminary blood test results showed she had a UTI (urinary tract infection) and diabetes.  We were given RX for insulin and syringes and told we have to give her insulin shots 2x a day now.  Also were given other meds for her UTI and upset tummy.  When we got home tonight, there was a message from our vet stating the full blood results were in, and she also has Pancreatitis.   My heart can't take this today, seriously.

Alexis has to be on a complete bland diet now, of chicken and rice, or hamburg and rice, and that's it. Vet said if kept up with her insulin, meds and diet, that the pancreatitis may go away as well as her diabetes.  But it's going to be a long road.

Alexis had also lost 6 lbs in the last 10 months.

It's been an awful day, and just when I think I'm out of tears, they start again..... praying she will get through this and live another happy 11 years.

Blood in dog's urine...

Alexis, our min-pin, now has blood in her urine.  We called the vet and have a 4:15pm appt for today... anxiously awaiting the appointment.  I'm a nervous wreck and I hope it is nothing serious.  She hasn't eaten since last night, wouldn't touch her food or even treats today.  Will post updates after our appt...
