My dog is a diabetic and is peeing a lot of blood and will not eat so she hasn't gotten her insulin shot. What could be wrong?

Sasha could have a urinary tract infection or other bladder issue related to the diabetes that is making her feel poorly enough not to eat. She needs a vet visit and urinalysis right away to figure out what is going on, where her blood sugar is, and what to do to get her feeling better. It is good that you skipped her insulin dose because you noticed she didn't eat, but you really need to follow up with your vet to get her back on track.
