Coming along nicely for the moment.
Still a bit of a tap dance with the canned food--1 tablespoon at a time and a new can must be opened after the second tablespoon. Better than nothing, but a little ridiculous and I can only seem to get her to eat 4 or so tablespoons for the day. That's supplemented with the 1 oz. of duck and the little bit of dry food she still gets at night (she starts tapping her watch about 9 pm). The obsessive part of me wants to worry that she's not getting enough food (or that once I remove the evening dry she definitely won't, but we're not even there yet). I'm trying to talk myself down from it, that after all that poking and shooting I'm not used to leaving her alone for a minute...
On another note--I called the second vet, the one that recommended Glipazide after 1 dose curve on the Lantus (I came here first and never went to pick the Glipazide up), to update them. She called me back and left me a message. She was not even remotely interested in what happened, or what I did to get Weeble to where she is now. It's kind of in keeping with what made me uncomfortable about her approach in the first place, but I thought she'd at least be somewhat curious. It's too bad because in so many ways she's a great vet. Oh, well.
Weeble currently cleaning her ear with a white mitten after her hefty 1 tablespoon meal, so really no complaints here.
Hope all is well with everyone!
