hi , we have a 5yr old male doberman. never had any problems with him before. we had him at the vets yesterday because he has been drinking lots of water, always seems to be hungry and has lost weight. we were told via a urine test that he has diabetes. he is in the vets today, all day for 1 hourly blood tests to find out how much insulin he will need.
does anyone else have a diabetic dobie who could please advise me on what to feed him. we were thinking......... brown rice, chicken and veggies. but i have no idea what sort of vitamins, minerals etc he will need on top of that. the vets will obviously try to get us to buy their recommended food ( that will cost an arm and a leg). but as we understand anyway, commercial dog food isnt good for any dog.............any help would be greatly appreciated thankyou mandi:thanx:
