poor Annie back in vets overnight on a drip diagnosed with diabetes she's being started on insulin injections this morning twice daily which I'm going to have to do when she comes home (not looking forward to that )

Was wondering if anyone else has had a dog with this problem and what the prognosis was for her she's 10 years old

hope she's ok linda :luck:

never had any dog with diabetes so can't help but good luck :luck:

iam having probs with becky ( paloma) drinking a lot and can't get weight on her as you know.

had blood tests and can't find anything that could be making her drink loads of water .

Think one of Shiela Copleys dogs had to have an insulin injection everyday, she may well be able to give you some info.

Poor Annie she must wonder what the hell's going on

Hope things pick up soon for her, there nothing worse than having one stay at the vets, you feel like you've lost a limb.

my dog had very low sugar level and became a slave to food or she would fall into a coma. despite having an operation on the pancreatis which cost a grand she improved for a couple of months sadly it came back and it was kinder to put her to sleep. still miss her dreadfully

 

[stormydog]

best wishes for her linda :huggles:

 

[weathergirls]

went to see Annie last night wasn't prepared for the shock I got, she looks so ill rang up at 10pm and they had managed to get another sample the levels have come down slightly but there's a long way to go yet got to ring at 10am for an update

Don't know what the cost of insulin is Steve she's on 2 injections a day its costing just under £150 a day at present while she is in the vets, but she's worth every penny and more

Poor Tilly is lost without her mum they've never been apart

Hope everything works out for her :huggles: get well soon :huggles:
