Why is my diabetic dog vomiting brown liquid? Is it organ failure?

Question

My 7year old border collie was diagnosed with diabetes 14mths ago. He’s stable on 18units of Caninsulin 2x daily. Cataracts have already set in, so he’s going blind - but he’s recently started vomiting brown liquid/bile, most days. Is this the final stage, showing signs that his organs are failing? I don’t want Charlie suffering, and need to figure out the kinder thing. Thankyou. Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Male | unneutered | 65 lbs

Poor Charlie! I'm sorry to hear that he's having this problem. Diabetes is not a progressive disease, so a well-controlled dog can live many years with a good quality of life if no complications occur. Vomiting daily is not a normal part of diabetes, so I would be concerned that something else may be going on. This problem may be very treatable, so I would recommend taking him back to your veterinarian for an exam. He/she can do blood work or other testing if needed to help determine what is causing the vomiting and get him started on appropriate treatment depending on what is found.
