Please have your vet check her blood glucose asap. Undiagnosed diabetes is very hard on the organs, especially the eyes. Unfortunately, most diabetic dogs go blind within the first few months as a result of glucose collecting in the eyes.
I know you have a lot on your plate now, but please determine asap if London is diabetic now rather than later. |
Oh definitely, she is getting blood work this morning to confirm diabetes (and a sterile urinalysis to better understand the struvites). I believe the vet will send the sample away for analysis, so I'll have a couple days to read up on diet and lifestyle changes for managing diabetes.
If the blood glucose test happens to be done on-site instead today, I'll be back here searching old threads all day today. Don't want to lose a minute of time when it comes to furbaby's health.
Thanks!
