Aww, she's so sweet. My mother has an Italian greyhound, elderly at 12 years old, but still peppy. We received some bad news this week. "Coco" has diabetes, and needs twice-daily insulin shots. My mother seems to be of the opinion that the dog should be "put down" even though she is her loyal and constant companion. Privately, I am heartbroken about this decision, and am hoping I can talk my mom into keeping Coco and administering the injections. After all, it's my mom's fault that the dog has diabetes, since she has fed her table scraps and all manner of bad stuff, so much that Coco didn't even look like a greyhound any more (of course, I didn't bring this up with my mom). Has anyone had experience with a dog who has diabetes? How much trouble is it, actually?
