My Oliver who was only 8 years old had to be put to sleep because the emergency vet I took him to ,told me he was stable. I rushed him to my normal vet . He just was diagnosed with diabetes. In the emergency vet he was there for two days first day he did great. the second day he was still doing ok they told me I could go pick him up. When I got him he could not walk , he was drooling and foaming from the mouth. there was NO way I was taking him back to that emergency vet . when I got him to my regular vet his blood sugar was well over 600 . The emergency vet said it was 188. I am so mad and heartbroken. My reg vet said they could try giving him shots of insulin but she felt he had other issues his liver enzymes where in the thousands, something the emergency vet said nothing about . I looked my regular vet in the face if this was your dog what is his chances if we try the insulin. She said not very good . So we had to make the hard choice to put my best boy down. I brought his ashes home Friday which just made it so much harder. I have had many dogs in the past , but Oliver was special since day one . He was the one who got me through my brother's suicide . He was funny, smart beautiful and NOW GONE .... Thanks for letting me vent Oliver aka Ollie Bear April 6 2013 to Nov 1 2021
