National Brittany Rescue And Adoption Network Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa Region

Hunter is a diabetic Britt who was an owner surrender. His owners bought him from a breeder in Wisconsin. When they contacted the breeder about Hunters condition, the breeder said he would take hunter back and give them a new pup, but the owners feared Hunter would just be killed so they kept him. The wife became pregnant so the family could no longer deal with Hunters health issues. They contacted us and we took him in. We were very nervous as we had never delt with an ill dog like him before. He is a very nice looking dog, not at all how we had imagined him to be. He is friendly and happy! His eyesight is going and his blood sugar has been difficult to get regulated. He has had one episode of diabetic shock where his blood sugar was too low and he went into seizures. We rushed him to an emergency vet but we had done everything correctly so he was fine.

We had a surgey on one of his eyes but it was not as successful as we had hoped. He will not have very good vision in that eye but at least he will be able to see a little. His blood sugar has now stabilized and he has settled in to life with us. We like him alot and we enjoy his company. I took him for a walk the other day and he actually flushed a pheasant!
