Diabetes

Hope all is well Anya, it is agony knowing they are unwell yet they can't tell us , I find I even ask - what's wrong ? How stupid

Thanks x

My old fellow has had blood taken this morning. Bill was £120. Results due tomorrow.

Just wish they could tell us what's wrong or where it hurts Annie .

Hope your pooch picks up soon x

Thank you Anya, I am being silly, naturally I have the concerns we with dogs live with but this has really thrown me , I am trying to remain positive

Try not to worry just yet Annie there does seem to be a virus going round. I'm taking my old fellow to the vet at 10.30 as he's been off colour too. He's actually perked up a bit today but I'll still keep the appointment. My granddog who's only a year old has been poorly too.

If it does turn out to be diabetes you will surely cope somehow (((hugs)))

My dog is eight, I am not given to panic having been blessed with eleven dogs over the years but the suggestion of diabetes has really thrown me is she was to be diabetic I have no idea what to expect and the thought of injecting her daily terrifies me. I am trying not to think ahead , have nursed my dogs in old age, with cancer, all distressing but had to be done, but this has clicked the panic button

Hope your dog's health improves, Annie.
Our neighbour's golden labrador had diabetes.
As Phoenix said, they have a special diet, need to eat regularly. And she had injections, can't remember how often.
She was about 9 when she developed it and lasted about 2 years more, then got tired. But 11 is almost an average age for a labrador.

How old is your dog Anniebach? Sorry I can't help as so far, I haven't looked after a dog with diabetes. Lots of other 'age related' stuff as my dogs have reached old age. Sending best wishes to you and your dog

Sorry to hear your dog is poorly. I haven't had a pet with diabetes myself, but I'm sure I saw special diet food for it when I was last in the vets.
