Hi, my 10 yr old Lab was just diagnosed with DM yesterday. The first think I noticed was some limping which has been going in for awhile but I think that is related to the arthritis. The first sign I think related to to the DM was when she would walk she would poop at the same time. I thought she was being lazy but then realized it was because she didn't really realize what she was doing and it's hard for her to support her weight. Then her legs would give way sometimes. Now she's starting to drag her foot and her foot will bleed some. I'm really bummed but I'm going to try what I can to slow it down.
