What diseases will your 10 pound toy poodle mix with a grade 2 heart murmur be subject to and will diabetes be one of them?
Your dog may have a slightly higher risk for diabetes due to the poodle genetics, but the risk should be reduced compared to a full-blood poodle due to hybrid vigor. You can further reduce this risk by keeping your poodle at a healthy weight (your veterinarian can help you with this) and taking your poodle for exercise on a daily basis. The heart murmur may predispose to some heart problems such as slowly progressive heart failure or blood clots depending upon the cause of the murmur - this should be monitored closely as your poodle ages, as treatment is much more effective early in the disease progress. Otherwise, your dog is probably not at increased risk for any specific disease.
