My gorgeous Border Terrier, Baxter has just been diagnosed with Diabetes, he is 10 years 5 months. Wonder if anyone out there could give me some tips
on caring for a diabetic dog. I am injecting him twice a day with 6 units of insulin each time. 7am and 7pm with his food immediately before his jab. He is
very subdued and seems sad most of he day but I am wondering if I should change his food. At the moment he is on Harrington's chicken and veg dry food
with 2 inch piece of cucumber, 2 inch piece of carrot and 3 slices of cooked chicken. He woofs it down no problem but is this giving him the correct carbs,
fat etc he needs as a diabetic? He loves his walks, chasing balls and playing with toys but I am very nervous we could be over doing it!!
