Ever since he was diagnosed with diabetes, Dukey has been forced to eat healthily with diet composing mostly of fibers and protein.

That’s Atkins for dogs.

And it’s been working fine. He lost a lot of weight, looks more like a dog than a polar bear now and it doesn’t hurt my back so much just to lift him up.

His meals now compose of a can of the W/D Prescription Diet. That thing smells like old rags and the looks of the thing when it blobs onto the dish from the can doesn’t make it any more appealing at all. Think of oatmeal, mashed with red beans and compressed in a can for seven days in the sun.

My mom has to buy baby food and put a few drop of it on the food to make him eat it. Sometimes my mom wraps the dung of a meal in fresh lettuce. As strange as it may sound, Dukey loves vegetables. He can eat lettuce, string beans and celery any moment. He’s now completely off snacking or anything tasty for that matter as tastes=calories.

Then this past few days, he has stopped eating completely.

He still chomps on lettuce but that poo poo food he has to eat, I think he would rather be back on IV than having to eat that shit.

Now the thing is, without enough food in his stomach, we can’t give him insulin. And without insulin, his sugar level will go through the roof again.

But according to the vet, it’s better to have too high sugar than too low in your blood.

Sigh, I can’t even eat food in front of him anymore, I can’t stand those sad looking eyes that are begging for just a little taste.
