Diabetic dog vomiting, not eating, and sleepy. Is it serious?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Brussels Griffon | Female | spayed | 10 years and 6 months old | 5 lbs

My diabetic 10 year old Brussels Griffon has been vomiting today and would not eat this evening. Has been very sleepy. I gave her sugar water and she woke up to drink it but it didn't help her energy level at all.

Poor Lollie. I'd be concerned the vomiting could somehow be related to her diabetes, potentially as a sign of diabetic ketoacidosis. Lethargy is another sign. I would take her into a vet immediately.
