As I'm sure you are aware, it's very important for diabetic dogs to eat. If May is just eating dry dog food, you can try to get her to eat by mixing in canned dog food with her dry food. Make sure that her dry food is completely coated with the canned food. You can also put some boiled and shredded white meat chicken (no bones) or scrambled eggs (no seasoning, milk, cheese, salt, pepper, just the eggs) in with her food. You can also add a tablespoon of low sodium chicken broth in with her dry food and mix it together. If she still refuses to eat, you will need to take her into the vet as there may be a diabetic related complication causing her to not eat.
