Diabetes

[jonwon]

My dog was just recently diagnosed with diabetes he's a six year old havanese. our vet has said we need to give him 2 insulin shots each day for the rest of his life. Does anyone here have experience with your dog having diabetes? Is it true with the right treatment, a dog can live a normal life span?

i heard it was common in the chowchow breeds. if its insulin shots, may be type 1 diabetes for the dog? i donno if the symptoms would be the same as humans.

i guess diet and exercise to control?

my friend had one of those small type dogs (cant remember what kind), but it had diabetes and needed shots everyday for around 7 years I think. dog lived to be 14.
