My 14 year old Cockapoo was diagnosed with this yesterday. I’m going to dedicate myself to keeping him healthy and happy no matter what it takes. ❤
We're very sorry to hear that your Cockapoo has diabetes, Sergio. Thankfully, most well managed diabetic dogs that respond to treatment have long, happy lives ❤️
I can attest to this. My dog was diabetic for 10 years and lived till 18. He just passed from old age. I am beyond devastated but i was able to manage his diabetes pretty well. It was complicated at times but it’a doable. Good luck to you ❤
@@AM-qr4ysthis is so refreshing to hear. My 14 year old chihuahua was just diagnosed yesterday & I keep hearing people put their dogs down because It was too expensive but I am going to do all that it takes so my dog can live the rest of her life comfortably ❤
@@thetravelhottie to each their own but I never ever looked at it as something I wouldn’t tackle. Never questioned it. This is happening and we deal with it. He was my dog. What comes up we face head on. It was kind of expensive. Glucose curves. Insulin and syringes but you can budget if you have to. Once you get it down and learn it you can manage. I’m no doctor. Vet or nurse. I was just a mom who loved my dog and was going to make this work. You seem this type as well. So therefor you will learn and conquer this. Your dog is lucky to have you. I feel those special dogs are given to us for a reason. If you ever get into a bind and need some advice please reach out. Good luck. You got this!
@@AM-qr4ysThank you... this is really good to know... ❤
My 4 year old boy just got diagnosed with diabetes. We caught it early so the outlook seems good, but I'm nervous as hell. He's my heart.
Sending our well-wishes to him. ❤️ If managed well, pets with diabetes can still go on to live long, happy lives, so try not to worry too much 😊
Im in the exact same boat 😭😭
Omg I understand. I’ve been giving my dog insulin twice a day. I’ve been so stressed!! Omg hang in there
Me right now, my baby girl who is going to be 6 in exactly a week was diagnosed with type 1 yesterday, insulin twice a day.
They wanted her to be hospitalized because she had a horrible UTI earlier this week. Decided with outpatient home care. I’m so stressed. She hyperventilates after her injections for about an hour and a half and acts almost dead.
If it gives you gives any hope. I had a dog who sadly just passed away who was diabetic. He died of OLD age at 18. Had diabetes for ten years. I was terrified when they told us but I was determined to make it work. He was my best friend 😢 I did a lot of research -spoke to plenty of vets and it was trial and error at the times. Complicated at times but I managed it. With two small babies at home. I’m not a doctor. Nurse. Vet. Just someone who adored their dog. I had it really under control. And it worked. A few bumps in the road but things that you can handle. Don’t be scared. Do your research. Your heart is in the right place. These dogs can live ajd long and happy and healthy life with this. I had a vet tell me “let’s be real. Most diabetic dogs won’t live that long”. Oh really my dog was 18 and the lifespan for his breed for a healthy dog. 14. He was 18. You all got this. Sending prayers and love ❤️
My dog was diagnosed with diabetes about a month ago. He is currently on insulin and diabetic diet. It had been a bit challenging in the beginning to balance his glucose level but since I have been using Free Style Libre sensor for his glucose measurements, it has been so easy.
I can monitor his glucose level at any minute without causing any discomfort to my dog which is amazing. He is doing great despite the fact that he is 13 yo and has heart issues and thyroid.
My dog just got diagnosed. Thank you for this info. I’m going out to by the sensor now. How often do you change out the sensor?
I so appreciate this! I’m a retired nurse but my dog having diabetes is really freaking me out. She starts insulin today.
you will be able to do just fine, all will be well its VERY doable best wishes!
Had a diabetic dog live till 18. I was scared as anything. But I made it work for 10 years - I did it all just glucose curves - ask the doctor about the freestyle libre. I used that the last year of his life. I loved it. Good luck
We have had a diabetes dog for several years. It was also a wonderfull tie. Now it was us paying back, and it was not a problem.
Diabetes is stupid. I lost my baby three weeks ago to it. I took THE BEST care of him though. It just got the best of him. RIP my baby.
U actually didn’t because if you did, they wouldn’t get diabetes. The reason why dogs get diabetes is through their diet. You probably feeding your dogs kibbles(processed and loads of sugar) and you giving them treats(also processed and load of sugar) too often.
@@shipitplease99999 a very nasty comment about an illness you don’t completely understand. Her dog may have a genetic disposition.
@@SH-qi4kf it is nasty but honestly a lot of people don’t even know how to properly take care of their pets. They just want something to be around to play with and feed for fun. As someone who cares about my pet health, I think about what I m doing that’s making the pet sick. Honestly a lot of people are really dumb when it comes to taking care of their pets. Just look at how many American people are obese or have health issues, how can you take good care of your pets when you can’t even take care of yourself
@@SH-qi4kf final note, just because you get sad when your pet dies is not enough. It’s like we deliberately do it to our pets and gets sad when we often taken bad care of them. I get sad to see a dog die so young from neglected care but people are never wrong right?
@@shipitplease99999you are a disgrace. My dog was diabetic for 10 years. Lived till 18. I took spotless care of him. He got it and I fed him all homemade organic food from the day he was born. Vet every 6 months. Vaccines. Etc. Spotless care. Spent thousands I can imagine. Walked him every day for an hour for YEARS he remained in his perfect weight Ahd still got diabetes. Why ? Bc he is a yorkie and they have Genetic disposition to it so get your facts straight before hurting soneonr so bad and thinking you know the situation. I hope you don’t own any animal and I hope you come down off your high horse and don’t love an animal so much. It get sick Bc of no fault of your own , Do all you can and have it die ajd some internet jerk attacks you too! Shame on you
I’m so thankful for the help presented in this video 💕 very informative and comforting 😊
Thank you for this useful information.
I know this video is a couple years old but on July 19, 2022 my 12-year-old Chihuahua Macy got diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Being already disabled myself with autoimmune diseases it’s been very hard to find information that I can print out and I’ve been reading everything I built a finder with 16 dividers and I document everything she does on the chart But being that I am disabled and now she’s disabled it’s so much more on me.
Forget the fact that the vet diagnosed her gave us a box with needles and one box insulin and sent us out the door with nothing but the receipt for $1100. Needless to say I’m suing them.
Everything I know so far about diabetes and keeping her alive and managed I’ve had to research, Reed., Comprehend and put into practice because I’ve been left to do this alone with no veterinary support.
Thank you for the information. ❤️🐕
Thank you for the helpful information. Our bichon-poodle was just diagnosed this week and he is only 18 months old. We are very sad but this video has giving us hope.
I have two bichon poodles the female age 8 was just diagnosed. The male dog does not have diabetes he is 10. Just goes to show me that I fed both dogs the same food.
This is so informative, thank you! My little girl dog got diagnosed today, I’m so thankful that the condition is manageable. ❤
We're glad to hear that it's helped, Aimee! Sending our well-wishes to your girl ❤️
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I recently agreed to adopt a diabetic dog after her momma suddenly passed. I have had so many questions.
We're glad that it was of some help to you, Angela. 😊 All the best welcoming the new addition! 🐾
Thank you
Hi Fran, thanks so much for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching. I'm taking my dog to tested for Diabetes tomorrow. She's 9 yrs old and having symptoms. Thanks again. 💜
Question.... when is a good time to take the dog for a walk ... is it after his insulin injection or before... thanks!
I’m 16 and I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes on September 11, 2008 I’ll be 17 in August
We hope you're doing well, Chase! 🐾
My 12-year-old multi pool was diagnosed three months ago and we have increased her to seven MG. She’s doing great but I believe her eyes may be showing signs of cataract. She is healthy otherwise. Does anyone have recommendations for a good diabetic dog food I was making my own and then switched over to Yum Wolf mix And added my own protein. But was wondering what has been recommended giving all that she needs to stay healthy. Thank you very much. Loved your video.
Thank you! At 70 I do feel overwhelmed and afraid for me and my dog. The vet told me yesterday he has diabetes, pancreatitis and cataracts in both eyes. My question is, do most people choose 7am & 7pm to feed their dogs? It seems like 12 hours is a long time between meals.
Hi, Diane, 👋 We are sorry to hear you are feeling overwhelmed and afraid! We have got lots of information on our website about diabetes in pets here: www.pdsa.org.uk/taking-care-of-your-pet/looking-after-your-pet/all-pets/diabetes-in-pets. If you need specific advice, though, you will need to speak with your vet as we can't provide veterinary advice via social media sorry. Best wishes, Kieran
Our dog was diagnosed with cushings a year or so ago this past week he was just diagnosed with diabetes so far they have upped his units of insulin and I can see a change in him he also has cataracts but we are taking it a day at a time and everything seems to be going ok
Ohh im nervous and anxious! And the Veterinary didnt help my feelings, now my precious Dixie is on IV for 24 hours, picking her up tomorrow morning. Costing me over $11k , i would gladly pay $1111111111k for her , but they better do their job or else im gonna end this Universe!!
Thanks for this though! Helped me!
What vet you have for $11000 for 24 hours?
My dog (female) of 11 y/o has been getting so thirsty for around 2 days, she has cataracts and doing a little re-search i found out it could be diabetes, i'm so scared rn, i'm taking her to the vet tomorrow, i hope it's not
Took mine to Vet 2 days and they have kept her for 2 days now and going on 3.because they Cannot stabilize her levels.(700).She is a small dog, 12 yrs old..What can I expect if they can't lower her sugar levels soon??..Should I just have her released and try to treat her myself?..Has to be an alternative.
Is milk good for a diabetic?
👍
my dog just got diagnosed a few hours ago.
Our advice would be to keep your chin up, dogs with diabetes can still have a long and happy life if managed correctly 😊 sending your dog our well-wishes 🐾
I have a 11 year old female dog .she is diabetic for a week. I went to the vet and gave me the insulin but noe she is losing her apetite .what is it pls?
Hi Jacqueline, unfortunately, we aren't able to provide veterinary advice over social media as our channels are not staffed by vets, please contact your vet directly for this who will be able to advise 🐾
I adopted my dog 6months ago,, don't know about his age.. He is 5 as I guess.. We tested his blood After welcome him suger was 78,after 4months it's 118(without exercise and 3time rice chicken diet).. After 1month it's 128.
Now he walks 2km twice a day..what should I do now?? Can u suggest his diet??
I used the Free Style sensor but had to replace very soon. after 3 days started failed, had to replace many times. I was told it is meant for humans. is it another way to control the glucose.
Wow man props to you. I have my freestyle libre 2 already coming but its for me tho
My dog has Diabetic Ketoacidosis, will he go into a coma? Because Ketoacidosis makes his Diabetes different, and I am not sure if he still has normal Diabetes.
Hi Sylamy 123, thanks for your question. I have passed this on to a member of our Pet Health team to see if we can help you. Best wishes, Georgia at PDSA.
My mum has a 12 week old puppy and she’s forever drinking water she will demolish a 2l bowl of water after food within mins of my mum putting it down. My mums worried she’s diabetic she’s registered with the pdsa. If she is diabetic do pdsa provide the insulin injections or would my mum have to pay??
Hi there Leanne, i am sorry to hear about your Mums Pet. If she is registered with PDSA she can request an appointment using the following link and discuss it with the team. www.pdsa.org.uk/pet-help-and-advice/vet-call-back-request
Thank you
PDSA
my dog also got cataracts within a day. he is on his second day on insulin, he is not himself at all😢
Hi Sharon, we hope your dog gets well soon. Georgia at PDSA.
thank you so much , he has his cataract surgery this morning 🙏🙏🙏
My dog has Diabetic Ketoacidosis, he has only a month to live before we put him down because it's so severe😔, how is your dog doing now?
Neither do we have enough money for insulin and surgery for when he does develop cataracts, which is going to happen soon, we are gonna give him morphine when it gets bad.
i am so sorry for your baby... wish there was a cure for them. it is heartbreaking to see them when they are sick or can’t see. i will do the best i can as long as i can. i pray for you to have the strength to do the best for your beautiful baby😘😘😘
What if there 15?
Thank you for being the dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate doctor that you are, you are more honest than I imagined, thank you so much Dr Igudia TH-cam channel for curing my Type 2 diabetes, you are amazing
I don’t know what I would have done without your help. Thank you so much for curing my Type 2 diabetes with your herbs Dr Igudia.
😭😭😭
I want to adopt a dog with diabetes
Times used to be very Challenging, I had the worst days of my life living with Type 2 Diabetes, I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, You have restored me my life that was lost already . Thank you so much for curing me of my diabetes with your natural Herbs.
Honestly if my pet had diabetes I would just put them to sleep. Idk ifat is wrong of me but I am a type 1 diabetic and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy so for sure I wouldn't wish it on my pet. The chronic pain and health issues I have I can't imagine seeing my cat go through so I would just choose to let them slip away in my arms at the vet and avoid the hard life of being a biabetic.
