Thanks to all who helped in approving our request to flunk! Zuri is officially home! She is the Cairn/Pom mix with diabetes and pancreatic insufficiency who was kept outside on an Illinois farm and slept in a barn.
Through a lot of detective work and with the help of a great vet, we found the diabetes diagnosis was wrong (a lab error!). The EPI (pancreatic failure) is chronic and incurable - but treatable. She'll need enzymes mixed in every morsel of food that goes in her mouth the rest of her life. She has to have 4 meals per day and be monitored carefully for complications. Already, the diarrhea has stopped and she's putting some meat on her skinny bones. For all she's been through, she's a sassy, sweet girl.
Vet said Zuri would not have survived another 90 days if she hadn't been rescued. Thank you, Col. Potter!
Cheryl (Norry, Cassie, Beanie, Mac, AND ZURI)
