Hi, our sweet, smart (he understands French and English) loving 10 year old cockapoo Baxter was diagnosed a few weeks ago, we were sooo sad and devastated. We don't have human children, he is our child! We had never heard of canine diabetes, but the urination, lethargy, and water consumption make sense now..we just thought it was too hot out! He has slowly been upped in insulin Humulin N (8 units 2x/day) we do see some improvement in his spunk and energy. I am looking for some encouraging stories you all can share...I keep reading heartbreaking ones Please share your success stories..I need them!!
1. I wonder if anyone only has to inject once a day?
2. I'm wondering if any of you out there "vary" the diabetic diet? He is on chicken, brown rice and a small amount of WD canned food.We worry this finicky eater will tire of it.
3. Has anyone gotten vet approval to use "Petfresh select" chicken and brown rice..we read the ingredients and didn't see sugar or high carbs..we will ask our Vet, but wondering what everyone else has fed successfully.
4. Baxter misses his beggin strips, milkbones and beneful treats..so any treat recommendations would be welcome.
I'm so grateful in advance for your sharing ...Jen
