Andy The Diabetic Alert Dog

Love when these memories pop up on my phone. We all loved Bane so much but Andy had a bond with him none of us could come close to💚💚

It's been a long rough night. These steroids for his ear infections are doing a number on poor Andy. We couldn't even celebrate his Gotcha day because the steroids are causing him to vomit multiple times a day. I was finally getting ready to go to sleep around 1 am when I felt this wetness spreading across the foot of the bed. Poor baby was knocked out and pi**ed himself and my bed. Had to get up start laundry scrub my mattress and take a shower. No sleep for mom but I'm more concerned with his accident he slept thru it all. I woke him up and let him out and he still had more to go. The vet said to cut back on his water intake and continue taking him out more often and to cut back on his steroids to every 3 days instead of every other. Please keep my sweet boy in your thoughts and if I drank coffee I'd take an iv of it today.

Poor Andy is struggling right now. Ear infections in both ears. He's got ear drops and on steroids. Mom has been up all night doing laundry and scrubbing my mattress because he peed the bed while sleeping. Poor baby needs a bath and I've got to work all day

It's been a ruff week for our household. Andy had an issue with a neighbors dog Thursday night and has been anxious since but even going through what he has been he is still here for mom. Yesterday I passed out for about an hour and woke up to my sweet sweet boy laying next to me crying, pawing at me like he does for an alert and actually licking my face which we all know is rare for him to do for me. I truly believe he brought me to. Dr ruled out a 2nd stroke but after my eye injections today I'll be admitted to the hospital for more tests and hopefully some answers. I love my boy with all my heart and I don't know what I'd do without him💙 thank you Andy boy for always being my lifesaver even when you're not feeling your best. You always put mom 1st and Mom does the same for you and your sisters. You are the nest pup I could have ever asked for. Mom loves you so much

Poor Andy has been throwing up all night. I don't want to leave him to go to work but his sissy will be home with him to take care of him. He finally stopped panting (he's panting so hard he shakes the whole bed copd sucks) when I told him to say hi to his favorite ladies so I could send them a pic. Hate when my boy doesn't feel good. Love my special life saving boy so much. Chicken and rice for his dinner tonight to help settle his stomach💙💙

Andy is healing up nicely. But the poor boy is getting uncomfortable he needs ahaircut but I keep telling him we have to wait and everytime I tell him that he sighs and lays his head down. He's got such a rough (ruff) life. All he does is watch his favorite show all day while Kay & I are working. He's got his own Netflix and Hulu profile 🤣🤣

His stitches are out and he lost 1.4 lbs even with all the crap he's been eating to take his pills

2 doeses of meds done 5 more days to go. He took most of his pills like a champ but he spits out 2 of them but he'll finally take them wrapped in cream cheese. But he'll take his probiotics out of my hand like a treat🩵 Saeran is constantly at his side either checking on him, licking his ears and head or sleeping as close as Andy will let him. He loves Andy so much since they day we brought him home he's cuddled up with him🩵🩵

Wow I posted on the Dogspotting Forun asking for ideas to help Andy take his meds and got suspended. No idea why. He won't take his meds wrapped in deli meat or cheese he spits it out and eats around it same thing with peanut butter so I'm at a loss only 1 of his meds can be brushed and the vet said not to sprinkle the capsules over his food due to them being time release. It's going to be a long week. Thankfully I got a few things to try before being suspended fingers crossed. Next week its just 4 pills twice a day and 5 pills on allergy med days. I love this boy so much but this is frustrating I can't take his pain away and he barely touched his food tonight even with thr broth topper. Hopefully he'll eat it overnight but he's not a fan of mushy or soft dog food. Going to pick up some cream cheese and strawberries and whipped cream after work tmrw and bring home some vanilla ice cream. But in the am I'm going to try wrapping it in canned cat food he's weird he won't eat canned dog food anymore but loves the canned cat food. I'm just at a loss

Just picked up 3 more meds for Andy's pain. He's doing so much better today but still in a lot of pain. But he was a very happy boy to see his friends at Charter Oak today. Was driving past and he cried and got excited so had to stop in to say hi and get lots of treats💙 I love how many people love my sweet sweet boy. Thank you all for loving him so much

Andy finally at at 3 am but momma had to hand feed him in bed. He slept from 730 am till he woke me up at 1 pm for a low blood sugar. He ate again about 130 and took all his meds. Momma has to work tmrw I took today off to be with him💙 so he'll be staying home with sissy. He loves all the facetime and phone calls he's been getting and I know he feelsall the love everyone has been sending

I love my sweet boy so much even in all the pain he's in he's still alerting me to my blood sugars. I told him no working for 2 weeks just rest

27/03/2024

Andy is home they let me pick him up early to make him more comfortable it took longer than expected but got it all 1-2 weeks for results. He's resting but still crying😪

Bubba's is pacing the back seat and whining and crying as we wait for the office to open to drop him off for surgery. He absolutely loves his vet & vet techs. I trust them with my heart they love Andy so much. He always brightens their day🩵🩵 I'll be a nervous wreck until they call after his surgery

Andy The Diabetic Alert Dog is having surgery tmrw. We saw the vet for an allergy follow up and he has a tumor on his side. Fingers crossed it's benign and not cancer because I can't afford the treatments😭😪 Gotta call out of work for Thursday Kay will be home with him Friday. He needs someone home with him for a few days. This boy is my heart
