I think we may have to put our mini-schnauzer down soon.
She's about 11, but has been diabetic for a 2-3 years and apparently now has a pretty serious case of pancreatitis (sp?). She's been at the vet for most of the past week while they try to get her insulin dosage and treatment under control, but she really isn't eating at all and is on an IV just to get some calories in her for the insulin shots.
She isn't doing well and has dropped over 20% of her wieght.
This really sucks, and my wife is having a hard time with it. Our little guy prayed last night for God to make more little gray schnauzers like ours and to make DJ better.
Somehow I don't think she's going to get any better, though.
That's a tough combination to combat according to several vets we've talked to. We should find out more later today when the vet gets more test results back.
