Its only this morning that we relised something was wrong because Lucy fell down our stairs and when we checked to see if she was okay we noticed she was going blind as her pupils where a whitey blue colour , ive looked on the internet today and seen that these are the signs of diabeties. Im absolutely gutted because I should have known this earlier due to seeing her go worse. Im taking her to the vets 1st thing in the morning. Ive read up about diabeties today and it seems a dog can live a normal life with 2 injections a day , do you think her sight could get better once we get insulin into her.
Im now feeling really gilty because I should of done something earlier
Has anyone else got a dog that as been through this. |
Hope you got a good report from the vet. Don't feel gilty you have given her 12 wonderful years of her life.
