I read some of the post's concerning how to get your diabetic dog to eat. I just recently found out that my dog has diabetes and I just brought him home from the hospital today. He was given IV fluids and anti-nausea medication because he kept throwing up and wouldn't eat as well as urinating quite frequently. His blood sugar was 400 on Saturday. This afternoon when I picked him up from the Vet it was down to 120. He still won't eat and because of this I cannot give him his insulin, so I decided to dilute his canned dog food that was given to me by the Vet and put it into a oral medicine dropper and force it down his throat. It worked. He didn't like it of course, but at least he is getting some nutrition. The canned food is called W/D Canine, it is a low fat, glucose management-gastrointestinal food made by Hills Prescription Diet. It has everything he needs to get the proper nutrition until I can get him to eat on his own. I refuse to let my dog die on me just because he won't eat. Diabetes is a various illness and it's going to take a lot of sacrificing on my part to get him back to health but I will do whatever it takes. I love my dog.
