At my wit's end with Jesse

Crowe, I don't have any advice - just my sympathy. This is almost the same path I walked with my Jimmy (mini Aussie-poo) - the biggest problem I had was his perpetual "puppy state of mind" - he would play like he was a kid again (despite being blind), and kept hurting himself. And then being diabetic, the injuries didn't heal unless he was on antibiotics. He too was getting clingy at times; or would get "lost" at night (he slept with us, wearing a male diaper at night) And he too was losing weight, in spite of eating a large meal twice a day.... I have no idea how many times he had me in tears for him....

Thanks for the kind thoughts. That sounds so familiar. When I think of how he was up until about 6 months ago it just breaks my heart. He's still happy to walk when it's light out and if we put a flashlight beam in front of him he will walk at night. He loves the cooler weather and that's giving him incentive to walk. If we take him outside with us when we are working in the yard he is so happy but won't stay outside in the kennel like he used to at our other house, even if Jake is with him. Thankfully Jake is still Jake-a big ole dopey dog. He responded very well almost immediately to the insulin. His eyesight is starting to fail a bit but no where near as bad Jesse. It's tough having two diabetic dogs in the house but it is what it is.
