In reply to the discussion: I'm going to lose my dog. [View all]BigmanPigman
(51,672 posts)37. Our dog had diabetes and she lived for
4 more years! She got shots and if she had a seizure we gave her corn syrup. Very manageable.
For the pancreas put her on some Creon. It is what people take for it and it works well.
My little dog turned 17 on Sat and I am still in shock. None our family's dogs lived past 16. I hope your baby recovers and makes it to the next birthday and the one after that.

I can't find an online version of this story, but look up the story about Digger by James Herriot

I live in a city with a great vet school, but they are closed to new patients due to COVID-19.
