She’s also started drinking lots of water. Can anyone tell me what this could be & what causes it..? The dog is between 8 – 10 yrs old im not sure.

Thank you very much for your answer…. Im just curious can you tell me what causes diabetes in a dog..?
Thank you for your reply Debra… We spent this afternoon with the dog at the vets office, hopefully my friend will have the answers soon and be on her way to helping her dog feel better.
I believe it can be the same as with humans. Sometimes advancing age. A pancreatic problem. She must see a vet to try to narrow down the cause as well as to get started on insulin. As with humans a dog can have a long and happy life as long as the diabetes is under control.
My first thought is diabetes! I would recommend a vet visit for an exam and bloodwork.
Good Luck
