Hello, I have a poodle who is blind, diabetic and in hot weather, incontinent. Daisy is nearly 12 and is a joyful old girl with the nickname of "Crash" for obvious reasons. She loves to play, be carried around on her back with her legs in the air and is addicted to gardening.
I absolutely hated giving her her twice daily injections at first but eventually got used to doing it. I have become better at it I must admit and I always warm the syringe in my hand or like a rose between my teeth before I inject Daisy. She has been a diabetic for 4 and a half years and has been blind for 4 years.
The incontinence is treated with of all things, sudafed and completely solves the problem. Caninsulin for the diabetes.
It is difficult to go away without her as she pines and frets so much if she isn't with us that she loses weight and is usually sick when we come home but, that I guess is the price we pay for the absolute pleasure of her company.
I hope that Baxtar and all of the other "kids " on this forum are as easy to manage and as much fun as our baby girl, regards Doggles
