She became suddenly in and I had rushed her to the vet. He informed me after bloodwork that she ahd diabetes, sadly she died that night.
So now that I am seeing Scooter drink all this water- 3 big bowls in a day- I think he has the same symptoms. He got up at 2am this morning and drank so much water that when I picked him back up into the bed, he was so full- he vomited all over the bed. He has been doing this too after all the drinking.
I wouldn't mind if I have to give him insulin, if it turns out he does have diabetes but he just seems to be looking poorly these days. Does anyone else here have any dogs with diabetes? Thanks so much, Margaret in NY |
Hi Margaret:
I just found this thread, and just hope everything is now OK with your darling Scooter.
Could you please update us?
Many thanks.
