I am new to this board but hoping I can find some help. My Lady who is a 10 yr old Lhasa Apso was just diagnosed with Diabetes last week. So we've been to the vet every day for her curve testing etc.. We go back on Tuesday in the afternoon of the week around 4 pm to see what her blood sugar level is ... The problem I have been having since all this started is.. getting her to eat!....Thank goodness she doesn't throw up or anything she just decides one day she'll eat the next she doesn't want to. The vet tried giving her the W/D food and that was a disaster.. She refused to eat it after the first day... SO then we tried other foods an she refused them also. Finally my vet said give her any kind of food she likes to eat because we need to get her on a regular feeding schedule so we can regulate her dose of insulin..
We started her out at 15 units of Vetsulin every 12 hours. Then we dropped to 14 then 12 then 10.....The last few days she's been eating fine. We went back to the Pedigree canned food she usually loves and were having no problems until today.. Now she's snubbing her nose at ...I have been able to get her to eat some and will try again in a little while as I have to give her a shot at 10 pm this evening but I dont understand why she is having such a hard time now wanting food.... My brains and nerves at this point are almost fried.... I just wish this was all regulated and she was OK.. I don't know how she feels because she can't tell me.. She acts normal in every other way so it's hard to tell.. No more uncontrollable peeing, no more drinking massive amounts of water etc.... Any advice?
Thanks....
