MArley was appearing lethargic and uninterested in things around him. He began to drink excessive amounts of Water and to pee a great deal. He also lost several pounds. His "pack" at home consists of three dogs and a cat and he remained socially comfortable with them, but,at the same time, he became somewhat removed from them. He ate well,but was less playful. After about two weeks, we brought him in to Dr, Brad Shipman, his regular doctor. Blood and sugar tests revealed diabetes and he began a two a day insulin routine. Another two week visit has resulted in a small increase in the dose, but we feel confident we are getting close to the optimum treatment. Dr.shipman and his staff are wonderful.
