So my 11 year old lab/shepard/border collie (!) mix has been acting sick for a few weeks now. She's been eating on-and-off, drinking a lot, and peeing all the time. She hadn't had any in-house accidents in a looong, loong time but it has been happening 2-3 times a week in the last few weeks. All this made me taker her down to the vet for some tests. Well, today the bloodwork came back and she is apparently diabetic! I'm off to read about doggie diabetes on the internet, but does anyone have any first-hand insight into this? How manageable is it? What are definitely things to keep her away from? What should her diet consist of? What types of equipment/tools are used/available to test and correct her blood sugar? Any info would be appreciated!!! Both myself, SWMBO and the doggie would be very grateful.
