Max is  6yrs old and in the last year was diagnosed with diabetes.

Max must have injections twice a day to keep it under control at 12 hour intervals. He will need this medication for the rest of his life. He has to visit the vets frequently to keep a check on him, but they are pleased he has stabilised on his medication.

Max had started bumping into furniture before coming to NWESSR and he was found to have cataracts on both eyes. This is a side effect of the diabetes. The vet has advised against their removal at the moment because it can have complications.

Max can still see some light and dark contrasts and shapes and his new  family have given him  a great Light Up Ball to play with.

None of this gets in the way of Max’s enjoyment in his new home. He loves being outdoors, playing happily in the garden, where he has learnt to negotiate steps. On his walks he relishes running over the fields. He sits nicely to cross roads and he always knows which is his house on the return.
