Reply #76: My dogs didn't seem to [View All]

mind the shots, I always figured that they felt better afterward. It's been awhile but I think that I gave them a treat afterward so they also associated the shots with that. The loss of sight goes along with the diabetes, both of mine lost their sight too. It was a difficult period and one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life to keep them both going. I know about the cost because it was all so expensive, things that you wouldn't have thought about like the needles and the testing sticks and of course the insulin itself it all added up to a large amount plus all the vet trips. I may have kept them going longer than I should have but I was afraid if I lost one the other would soon follow. You have to weigh it and keep them going while their quality of life is still good and they enjoy things but let them go when life is more pain then pleasure for them.
