I need help finding a vet who is passionate about researching diabetes in animals. I need someone that has more information to help me help my little guy. This is all breaking my heart. He is losing too much weight and his eyes seem to be getting worse ( Read more... )

Dr. Kristin Velasco at Bethany Family Pet Clinic is very good. She keeps herself well informed and knows when to refer cases to specialists. I would trust her in your pugs care. She is also the vet to both of my cats. I also work for BFPC, so I know the "behind the scenes" is top notch as well.

Hi,

Where are you trying to get blood from? I have a friend who is a vet (although not in your area) and I could ask questions for you. (I've friended you.. hope you don't mind... :))

Don't mind at all. Thanks for letting me know you added me. :)

I've been able to test his blood since. The vet had me poking his ear and he hated it plus if I didn't get the right area, it wouldn't bleed enough or he'd yank his head and the blood would smear. It was a holy nightmare. A friend suggested another area and it's worked much better.

If your friend knows anything about feeding a food diet and proportions, I'd love some help with that. I want to make sure Sab is getting enough food but not too much. :)
