Pearle our Blue Great Dane,has with in the past couple days, been diagnosed with diabetes. She was drinking huge amounts of water and eating like she was starving, which it turns out she was.Well after two vet visits in the same day, blood trine tests, she has been put on insulin twice a day.
The vet has prescribed Royal Canin brand food for diabetic dogs, its only by prescription and spendy. After reading whats in it at their web site, its crap,it looks toxic. I never have fed my dogs anything that reads like this stuff.
I found a food on the web thats certified low glycemic,which means there is less carbs that can be turned in to sugars, that will help glucose spikes. The new food is spendy, but on a per pound price compared to the vet its less. The dogs love this food, the poodle was eating it as I was pouring it out of the bag.
Pearle is great when its shot time,she just stands there while she gets poked doesn't seem to mind getting shots , the needles are micros also.So does anyone else out there have a diabetic dog ?
