Already Tried:
She was groomed last week and the groomer stated that she thought the dog had worms. However, I have checked her stool every day and do not see anything. Yesterday, she did not eat very much, which is not normal for her and she threw up want she ask. Today she ate and has not thrown up, but is very hot. She is diabetic and has an enlarged liver. This change did start when I started using a new bottle of insulin.
Accepted Answer
Hi, I would not recommend starting an antibiotic for no reason in this dog. Since this all started with a new bottle of insulin, she may be having some diabetic regulation issues if there's a problem with the new insulin. I would strongly advise having her examined by a veterinarian today to determine if her blood sugar is at an appropriate level. Diabetes can become a life threatening problem if the blood sugar becomes very low or very high, and Diabetic Ketoacidosis is a common secondary complication that can be life threatening!
