Mako Update

Mako has been holding steady the last week or two.  I haven't noticed any dramatic improvement, but he hasn't declined either. 

Unless you call being used to pull up on declining!

This is normal for him.

I set an alarm on my phone to remind me to give him his two shots at the same time each day.  The alarm has a tone I don't use for anything else, and we noticed this week that he recognizes it when it plays.  He winces when I poke him, but he doesn't resist or try to bite or run away.  I don't even have to hold him to keep him still.  It makes me wonder if he associates it with feeling better.

His insulin dosage has been increased each time he's had his blood sugar checked.  We are hoping it will not need any change this week.  The increased insulin also makes him hungrier so that he is eating about twice as much as before, still stealing food, and sometimes at night will beg for more dog food.
