I do not have experience with yorkies and insulin, but I did have a cairn terrier for 16 years and the last 1 1/2 yrs, she was diabetic and I had to give her daily injections. I had to work closely with the vet for the first few weeks to get the doseage regulated, but after that she did fine. It was extremely hard for me because I absolutely hate shots and cannot even watch someone getting one, yet I HAD to do this for her. Every once in a while, she would yelp when giving her the shots and I would just sit down on the floor and cry my eyes out. But I knew that this was the only way to maintain her quality of life. |
