Hey guys another quick question. Is it ok to premake her insulin needles? I have a chance to go to Miami overnight and I trust my dog sitter. I just want to make everything easy her for her that I can,
We have a neighbor that feeds and gives Lily her shot when we are not home. I pre-fill her insulin syringe and leave it in the refrigerator with the plastic cap lightly placed on the needle. You should be OK.

Well guys my roxy isn't doing to well this morning and I'm waiting for the vet to open at 8am.
I don't know what is wrong she seems like she is hurting. She is pacing won't stay still she is breathing and panting heavy. Her eyes won't open but slightly.

Sorry about what happen to your dog! I know how hard this situation for you because before my furbaby has been diagnosed of diabetes and after a half years she died. It's sounds like pancreatitis for me. I read this article about dog food for dogs with pancreatitis they have a lot of information there telling how to deal with dogs with pancreatitis hope this can help you.
Hey guys sorry I haven't posted much but I do read the boards almost everyday. Roxy is doing good with her diabetes. I have noticed her back legs are getting a little weaker only when she is trying to get up first thing in the morning. My other dog brandy ( she passed last year at 16 years old) was having that same problem but was not a diabetic. She used to take glucosamine..
Can roxy since she is a diabetic? I have googled it but I can't find an answer I trust. So I would like to ask you guys before I have to pay the vet to ask this question to.
With these you just pull appart the capsule and sprinkle its contents on whatever food you're giving. I tried a few others, but a lot of the chewables have ingredients in them that make them tastey to a pup, which ended up raising my boy's blood sugar.
Best of luck to you,

Continued his journey into the next life on 5/15/2016. I miss you baby boy; you'll stay in my heart forever.
Maggie was on a glucosamine supplement - it was a beefy like chew we got from the vet. It never seemed to affect her sugar and it did seem to improve her movement.

I think my Annie has been on Synovi G3 soft chews for over 2 years. https://www.amazon.com/Bayer-Count-S...chews+for+dogs
Hard to prove if these work, or not. She loves the taste, so I'll continue. I give ˝ chew after each meal as dessert. There is also a Synovi G4 version that I might give a try.
