It has been a very trying year for us. Annie's health issues continued, Handsome's heart condition progressed to severe & Orphee, in addition to his FIV+ status, recently was diagnosed with diabetes.
Right now, we are in the process of purchasing insulin and sharps and preparing for a trip to the veterinarian to learn how to administer his insulin, handle his dietary needs to get his diabetes under control and hopefully at some point achieve remission.
Belle is our only completely healthy fur baby. Emotionally it's hard to care for ill furry family members because you look at them so trusting in you to do the right thing for them, but everything must rely on your skill in detecting their needs. The patient cannot communicate their needs to the caregiver. It can be a heartbreaking situation.
Well, we will continue to do what we can for Orphee as we have done for every one of our beloved furry family members.
