Newly diagnosed with diabetes (3 weeks). We can't get blood sugar below 400. Dosage has been increased from 4 to 6 units twice a day. Did a curve all day. Low of 462 and now 710. Suggestions? Additionally, Katie has gastrointestinal issues, so a high-fiber diet along with insulin isn't possible. She also has frequent urinary tract infections, at least twice a year. She is a 5-year-old King Charles Spaniel.

My 9-month-old dog, Lezzy, is very playful and energetic but shows no interest in eating during feeding times. She just smells the food and doesn't eat. Is she being picky, or could there be an underlying issue?

My 8-year-old boxer went from being very active and energetic to being unable to walk in three weeks. She was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and has been taking levothyroxine for a week, but continues to decline. She can walk a short distance with assistance and sometimes falls over when squatting to pee. What could be causing this rapid decline and what should I do?

Our 4-year-old Rottweiler is panting excessively tonight, which is unusual. He has eaten normally, shows no signs of vomiting or slobbering, and is very restless, constantly moving in and out of the house. Should I take him to the vet?
