We have a request, and it's an issue I've written about a handful of times but never had this particular question answered by readers: How do you talk with your vet--who is against feeding your dog vegan food--about your choice to do so?

For these reasons, my vet had no problem with me stockpiling Vetsulin. So he is being re-veganized (Violet's already vegan), as long as his back and leg aren't adversely affected. The vets say that Charles' condition doesn't warrant another surgery, and that sometimes it takes a couple of years (!)
