This is Elsie, an 11 year old Labradoodle. Elsie is a patient at Animal Trust Rhyl. Recently Elsie’s owners noticed she was very lethargic and generally under the weather. They brought Elsie into our Rhyl clinic for an appointment with vet Zoe and after a same day urine test diagnosed Elsie with diabetes.

Elsie was prescribed insulin, the main treatment for diabetes in dogs, and also had a sensor device fitted which communicates with an app so that her glucose levels can be monitored closely and the dose of insulin optimised.

This careful monitoring has meant that Elsie has responded very well to treatment is now back to her old self, full of life.

Elsie’s owners - ‘a big thank you to Zoe and all at Animal Trust Rhyl, we have our old dog back.’
