Strip test positive for my boy!!

Yes,Sally is a mix. The vet thought the Puppy Chow was "good enough"..I will look for a food without corn. Have you heard of Nutro-Natural choice?

There are many, many foods out there, IMO the best have the fewest things in them… especially any kind of fillers, such as corn, beet pulp, etc...
Nutro-Natural is a decent food, along with Canidae, California Natural, etc... I have used both Canidae and California Natural (Chicken), and am using a mix of EVO and Natural Balance Potato and Duck
Be care sometimes lamb is NOT the best for them... -
No strip luck yet…hehehehehe
but will keep trying....not only with her pee but her vet...and food too.... I'll let you know!
But I did find a new collar that will help with her hair loss around her neck!

why is lamb sometimes not the best? i have been mixing a little cooked ground lamb in my boys food so he eats it???
Many dogs with food allergies, don't do well on lamb….. Many dogs will eat lots of things that are not good for them... However if yours do well with the cooked ground lamb, then that is great

well here's an update on my Anzi boy - he definitely is diabetic - was finally diagnosed on 12/14 - he has lost weight - and looks GREAT now - and his sugar is okay - he gets shots and food twice a day - it's almost just like a human having the disease - there are some complications that can happen like blinding cataracts but so far so good - he HATED his shots at the beginning but is now a brave boy - love him so much!!! if there are any other diabetics b's out there holler -

That is great… good for you and him.... glad to hear that he is doing well!

I am so glad he is doing well! If he is easy to give the shots to, that is huge! And caught early, with good control, maybe, like humans, he won't have too many complications. That said, my old diabetic dog went blind and you would not have ever noticed, she just slowly adapted. I am really so happy for you that Anzi is doing so well.

it is so HUGE - he was NOT at first and it was a battle and you would have thought i belonged in a loony bin!!! but he's awesome now!!! so far no cataracts - eye specialist says just ever so slight of one but that he woould be surprised if a diabetic dog didn't have ANY - so = so far so good!!! i bring him to the eye specialist about every 3 or 4 months now but his eyes look clear and he sees the tiniest of spots on the floor that he thinks is food so i know he is seeing fine!!!
