I have a client with an 8 yr old maltese. She has 2 others also, and I groom all 3 every 4 weeks. This time when they came in I could tell a huge difference in Abby. She and her sister Bailey look like twins. Usually I can only tell them apart by their collars. Abby has lost a lot of weight and her coat had not grown back. She literally looked like I had just groomed her. Today she was diagnosed with diabetes. The vet said she would need a high fiber diet and insulin shots 2x a day. He said he would probably put his dog down because of how confining it is for the dog and the family.
The owner is one of my best clients and called me for advice, however, I have no experience with diabetic dogs. I was just wondering if anyone had any input on this.
Thanks for any help.
