First Coast Pet

{  Poor Brutus!}    When I think back to what life was like for our then-six-year-old cat, I just want to cry.  Dr. Frick told us that weighing 20 pounds was 8 to 9 pounds over the normal.  Animal Joint Pain

Two years ago, our previous vet diagnosed Brutus of having diabetes and started treating him with 6 units of insulin two times a day.  Our previous vet advised us to feed Brutus with special dry food for diabetic cats. 

Then my friend told me me that her sister-in-law took her dog to a credible veterinarian and was impressed with the outcome.  Meeting Dr. Ava Frick and discovering her clinic was a blessing to us. 

  By the time we took Brutus to see Dr.   Frick for the first time, he seemed to have flaky dandruff coming off and his fur was dull.  He used to  take in unreasonable amount of water and urinate 10-12 times daily.    He seemed hungry all the time, begging for food like a dog.    He was also very cranky and never wanted to be around the family any longer 

  We checked Brutus into Dr. Frick’s clinic for about a week while she rank tests and, as she explained to us, the were some serious concerns with his blood sugar levels.  They keep on fluctuating.   Animal Pain Relief

  Dr. Frick tried an experiment on Brutus by taking him off the insulin for a short while and reintroduced it.  She revolutionized his diet to a canned, low-carb food, and started on a routine of 2 units of insulin every 12 hours. 

In just a period of two days, his blood sugar levels returned to normal.  Also, his excessive thirst and urination stopped. 

Brutus has improved so much a year later.    He has lost almost five pounds, the normal luster of his coat has returned, and he only goes to his litter box three or four times daily.  Craving for food became a thing in the past and his grouchiness returned to his old and loving personality.  Animal Chiropractic
