- If your dog has been diagnosed with diabetes they will need treatment for the rest of their life. You will need to keep their blood sugar level at a normal level. This is done by administering insulin injections; controlling their diet and their exercise.

The dog in the video is so cute. He is lying there and is calm. Adorable! 😍
These videos have helped us a lot. My husband gives Floyd his injection, its a bit of a learning curve. He had his fifth this morning and we learned that it's best for me to stay out of the way, I think he feels threatened if he's being held. Also, I think its extremely important that you make sure you are calm. I suppose every dog is different though. It was a terrible shock at first but five days on and it's just become part of a normal routine now. Good luck everyone 🐾
I have 2 diabetic dogs and this was very helpful.
This is the BEST most informative video, a great help.
Great advice. My dog was just diagnosed with Diabetes.
it is a big change for us both. this helped me to understand diabetes more and the routine we need to stick to, thank you. i need to be strict with food and diet, and no treats during the day .👍🏼
I'm so grateful for this chanel. thank you so much for this information on demand!
Our dog was just diagnosed and it has been a very emotional experience but thankfully these videos are helping me process and prepare for what's needed.
So sorry to hear this 😞 we're glad we've been able to help, Zachary ❤️
How has it been handling your dog's diabetes? Mine was just diagnosed and am appreciating getting the info to prepare
I’m right there with you Zachary! Just diagnosed on thurs before the new year, been very emotional and hard, I speak with vet tomorrow.

Hey Shirley , my baby which he turn 9 yesterday is in the hospital right now because he got diagnosed with diabetes and trying to see if he has pancreatitis. What is the name of the device that will alert your phone if glucose is too low ?
This is very emotional . He just went 1.5 month ago under IVDD surgery and now this 😢. But I will do anything to see him happy again.
Thank you .
love this information! Great ,
One of the best videos re diabetic dog 👏👏👏🐶🐶🐶
I’m really upset after watching this and a previous video from this vet about diabetes. My dog was diagnosed last week, he’s old and in poor health and I questioned whether it was fair to put him through treatment, or kinder to make ‘the’ dreaded decision (euthanasia). I was told by the vet it was no big thing, which made me feel awful that I had even considered having him put to sleep. It’s been an awful week, the practice had a burst water pipe and they had to abandon his glucose curve mid morning, but it was done today (they did suggest I go to a different vet and fork out again for the consultation and blood tests but I couldn’t afford another £350).
I am being made redundant and have secured a new job in a hospice, but it’s 13 hour shifts and my mum (who will have my dog when I am at work) says she won’t do the injections. I was not expecting the strict 12-hour spacing, nor frequent vet visits, and the costs are mounting (vet told me circa £70 per month, but I fear she didn’t include the monitoring visits in that £70 guesstimate). My dog is so stressed at the vets. Now he’s gone through all this, I am seriously thinking it wasn’t the right decision as I cannot achieve the strict routines described, which means I won’t be able to achieve good glucose control and he will be unwell - and I am really worried about the finances.
My dog has just been diagnosed with diabetes,
This video is very helpful. Thank you.
I have no problem with the things in this video. He is my life & I will do anything for him.
Also, if you are watching this, definitely check out the 'how to inject insulin' video (I have already). I can not thank the PDSA enough. They are wonderful & I will be checking my bill and giving as much as I can afford to cover the amount, I don't need that 'luxury' (although I don't have many) so much anymore, I'd rather have my friend & help the PDSA with the treatment they kindly give...
❤️
Your video is spot on. Thanks for your advice.
We're glad that you found it helpful, thank you Lili! ❤️
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 diabetes managed I’ve had to research, Read ., Comprehend and put into practice because I’ve been left to do this alone with no veterinary support.
I so understand. My dog was just diagnosed on July 14, 2022… the vets sucks!!! Hang in there
Find a different vet asap, there are good vets out there you just need to find them 🙏🤍
Best video I have seen on diabetes treatment for dogs. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much! We're glad to help 😊🐾
I wish it was me instead of him! My poor dog doesn't deserve this!
I know exactly what you mean. My dog was just diagnosed today with Diabetes. And is in the hospital now. I'm also a type 2 diabetic, do I know exactly what he's going through. It's sad, no dog deserves Diabetes.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 im so sorry ..God bless i feel the same. They are too good to suffer this way.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 im so sorry ..God bless i feel the same. They are too good to suffer this way.
Thank you for this video. It really helped me understand what I need to look out for with my dog. He was just diagnosed Monday that he has diabetes. Very helpful.
Mine was diagnosed a couple weeks ago and my nerves have been on serious edge! So much to learn and manage. And my dog has never been a scheduled eater, so that’s the biggest challenge when she doesn’t eat and needs her insulin after each meal.
Very educational video, thanks
We're glad that you found it helpful, Milly! 🐾
We just went up to 9 units and its scary that shes still not stabilising. We had a freestyle on her so we can monitor her bloodsugar but its just freaking me out that i ant help her. She wasnt diagnosed at the regular vet until it was too late and far into her diagnosis. I have a new vet and were just trying to manage with insulin and being careful with food. I keep my fingers crossed she feels better soon
Hi there, thanks for your comment. We are sorry to hear your pet has been unwell and hope they are on the mend. If you're pet needs urgent care please contact a vet asap.
I had to say goodbye and help her cross the rainbow bridge on the first of the year. We were up to 12 units twice a day and she wasn't getting any relief. My heart is broken but my other little ones are keeping me safe
WOW !!!
this is such a great help… l made mistake i used to give my dog during a 12h break a small snack, like bone etc… can anyone drop me a line what food you are giving to your dog? I have dog food for diabetic dogs and l am giving her boiled eggs and yogurt with 0’1 fat as well as broccoli, spinach and green salad. All that in one meal… she has enough enough exercise since we are both very hyperactive. Any advice would help…
Hi I am Giving My Dog Hills W D.It is Low Fat,Fibre,Good For Sugar control,Urinary tract and Stomach only 1 Cup Every Meal Nani Likes it.In Between Veggies for Treats.I Get Novolin N Insulin From Walmart $ 25.00,Reasonable Price Good Luck.
I just want to add that I think the reason you 'll often see directions to give your dog or cat his shot shortly after eating is because of the risk that they don't eat after the injection, or that the vomit the food up after eating.
My dog just got on vetsulin. I wasn’t told what times to give it to him though. I’m doing some research and people are saying every 12 hours. So I gave it to him tonight at 6pm. So, that means I give it to him at 6am & then 6pm tomorrow night? Any advice helps! Thank you :)
Hi Aubri! Unfortunately, we are unable to provide advice via our social channels as they are not staffed by vets and we would hate to ever give out any incorrect information! We would always advise you to go direct to your vet with any questions specific to your dog 😊 I hope this helps, Shannon 🐾
Yes… that is correct. I am giving my dog insulin during the meal or after but every 12h. Dont make mistake like l did l used to give her a small portion of food like bone … between 12h window… DO NOT!! They should not eat anything between 12h window. At least this is from my experience. But l would suggest make a list of questions and ask your VET so you can get correct answer.
How do your get your dog eat that has it
Hi Gerard, thanks for your comment. We are not medically trained on the social media platforms so you would need to speak to a vet.
Thanks
Nicky 😊
Is it strictly 12 hours or is 10 hours OK? I feed my dog breakfast at 7 AM and then dinner at 5 PM but we just got confirmation from the vet that he has diabetes so if that has to change I can make that change
Hi there - Could you please send me a direct message with your contact details included and I will look to locate your client record. Thanks, Nic🐾
What do I do if we feed our lab with 10 units of insulin. Then about 30min after it’s 490mgs. Do I inject more insulin ?

No talk to ur vet. Insulin takes up to 6 hours for many to work.
My dog is pregnant and the vet said she has diabetes also. I couldn’t even sleep. When i googled, it said the diabetic dog life span is 2 years. I can’t lose my bby girl. She is all i have. The vet told me to keep watching her condition. I am so happy that my bby girl is pregnant but nth matters more than her life. y my bby has to go through this. She doesn’t deserve this. No dog does.
SICK CAT! IMMEDIATE HELP! My cat has been acting weird recently. She has been avoiding her food. There also seems to be patched of hair missing in various parts of her body and it also seems to be spreading. My cat is a new mother and she gave birth to her kittens about 10 days ago. There also seems to be patches of hair missing around her breasts but only through the ones from which the kittens used to suck milk. I am pretty scared if this might be some fungul infection. I am terrified. I need someone who can explain this phenomenon if they have experience with cats. HELP.

Hi there. I am sorry to hear about your little one. Could you please send me a direct message, letting me know where it is you are based with the little one? Thank you, Nic
Is it fatal?
Hi there, Annette! Most well managed diabetic dogs that respond to treatment have long, happy lives. However, it’s important to be aware that treatment takes a lot of hard work, commitment, lifestyle changes, a strict routine and regular vet visits. If diabetes is left untreated, it can often lead to death. Read our full advice here: www.pdsa.org.uk/taking-care-of-your-pet/pet-health-hub/conditions/diabetes-in-dogs
@@pdsa I know it is fatal in cats and thought fatal in dogs. Thank you for the information
In humans - VItamin D and carnivore diet is helpful - what about for dogs..?
Thanks very much for your question around the best diet for dogs with diabetes.
Certain foods are better for diabetic dogs because they release sugars slowly and so help to avoid blood sugar spikes- speak to your vet about which food is best for your dog and always take vet advice before changing your diabetic dog’s diet. Use lots of fuss and play as reward instead of feeding treats.
Vitamin D is a vital vitamin for dogs and there is some research to suggest it may be supportive in the prevention of some diseases- though this isn’t proven. Unlike us, dogs are not able to get Vitamin D from sunshine but have to get it from their food. Feeding a complete, balanced diet will ensure your pet gets the right amount of vitamins and minerals- additional supplements should not be needed.
Is it possible to reverse diabetes in a dog the way it is possible to reverse diabetes in a human? with food dietary changes
Hi there, David! Diabetes in dogs requires lifelong treatment; it can't be cured. With the right treatment and careful monitoring, diabetic dogs can live a long, happy life. 😊🐾
Why can't it be reversed and cured as it can be in humans ? Please tell us why. I notice that all you say is how to write scripts and manage symptoms. Big Pharma must love you. Why not talk about giving pets the right food free of carbs and sugars ? Hmm ?
Do you understand bio-chemistry and metabolic physiology ? @@pdsa
I have a 9 month old foster that I suspect has diabetes. I think my dogs are going to be in for a shock when I switch everyone in the house to structured meals to keep this little guy safe
My small dog doesn't like to go on walks at all. She is bit over weight so we try to play with her with small toys. But she still lays and sleeps most of the time. Any thoughts?
Hi there, Jana! We're sorry to hear that your dog doesn't like to go on walks much. Daily walks are essential for both a dog's physical and mental health, so we would recommend that you keep trying to show her that there is no danger, but there are other ways that we can exercise our pets. 😊 We have lots of helpful advice on our website for owners: www.pdsa.org.uk/get-involved/our-campaigns/weigh-up/your-dog
😭my furry baby and my husband too😭😭😭😭 in the same week , like what did I do wrong?!!? I just want to them to be okay 😭😭😭😭
Hang in there, mine was diagnosed this May, it was very stressful and worrisome at first but I'm getting the hang of it, its all about routine, they must be on a routine. My dog is on a 9am schedule so I feed her around 845 then insulin at 9am. It's hard at first but then it gets easier 🙏🤍
My little Shih Tzu is diabetic .. Now he's about 80% blind ..
So sad.how long after the diagnosed started loosing eyesight?mine just diagnosed. So sad
@@charliewriedt7348 ...It happened over 1 weekend .. 1 day he could see quite well ,, next he couldn't jump up or down off the bed because he couldn't see well enough to judge distances ..
@@HondaMechanic1 thank you for answering. I appreciated. Heart broken ;(
Bless his little heart❤️ prayers for him. 🙏
@@charliewriedt7348 mine was just diagnosed too today.
Todo gracias al Dr. martins abul que me ayudó con una cura para deshacerme de mi diabetes, gracias señor...
Is it almost certain that the Diabetic dog WILL go Blind??
Hi, Taino! Unfortunately, most diabetic dogs, even if their condition is well controlled, will develop cataracts, which cause loss of vision and eventually blindness. However, many dogs cope very well with vision loss due to cataracts. 😊 We would recommend speaking to your vet if you have concerns about your dog! 🐾
@@pdsa So sad and hard to hear..Thank you!
@@pdsa My vet, a specialist in diabetes, told me my dog could have the cataracts removed. I’ve read they almost always come back. I don’t want to put my dog through that trauma just to have them come back.
Sometimes I feel the vets I’m dealing with just want to rack up the bill with tests and procedures. My dog does need the stress.. Especially when it has no benefit or good outcome.
If diabetes in humans can be reversed, why not in dogs?
Dog diabetes is like Type 1 in humans. Type 1 cannot be reversed.
Yes. This video is a advert for Big Pharma.
It's all diet. Dogs get diabetes from eating carb rich sugary food instead of meat and fat.
The vet in this video says "Diabetes in dogs cannot be cured". It's complete crap. It can be prevented and also cured.
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.
