I have a 13 week old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix who was diagnosed with diabetes Tuesday. He was placed on Vetsulin at 1 unit per day. He is only receiving a shot once per day. His sugar, after 3 days on insulin, registers on the urine test strips as over 2000. My vet does not know what to do at this point and neither do I. Any suggestions. Oh, he weighs about 2 pounds. He is eating good now but is still drinking an excessive amount of water and has very frequent urination.
