    Default Re: My Pug Scoop

    Thank you for your concern and worry about Scoop. He's been eating for the most part but I just don't know if what he eats is good for his blood sugar levels. Last week he had a few days where he gave me a really hard time. He really scared me. I thought for sure that was the end. He must have been feeling really bad those days. He has gotten very picky. I have been giving him some Merrick canned food and right now he has been eating it but you never know that could change. He didn't want his chicken so Mel suggested I try turkey breast. So far he loves it and sometimes he will eat chicken too. Just never know what he will and will not eat. When I asked the vet if his pickiness could be because of the tumor, she said, no. The IMS said, yes. I think it is because of the tumor. It seems like he will eat something that is different and meaty. Carrots and green beans he won't eat at home but yesterday while he was at the vet's for his curve he ate his carrots. Sometimes it will take 5 tries before he will not turn his nose away at something and sometimes he just won't eat it. Just have to keep changing things up for him if he doesn't want something. I told the vet I have been giving him Merrick canned food and she didn't say anything. She knows I just have to give him what he'll eat. Maybe that's why his BG levels were so high yesterday.

    I do love and appreciate all your suggestions. It helps to hear what others have tried. There are things I would not have thought of and it really helps to hear about them. Scoop still has the bowel problems. Took a stool sample to the vet. Didn't hear anything about it. He also vomited tonight. He was sleeping and got up and vomited. He wasn't all worked up or anything. Just threw up one time.

    Scoop had an aCTH done along with his BG curve on Wed.
    His pre number-1.6
    His post number-2.2

    ACTH before this one on Jan.23
    Pre-2.0
    Post-5.2

    ACTH before that on Dec.5 This was when he was dealing with his eye ulcer.
    Pre-9.3
    Post-10.1
    All these times the numbers have dropped without an increase of Vetoryl.
    I sure am glad he won't be getting any Vetoryl tomorrow. Scoop has to fast for his appointment so I won't give him his Vetoryl at all tomorrow.

    Do you feel his numbers are too low? They scared me when I saw them but the vet thinks they are great numbers.
