DIABETIC DOG SYMPTOMS |
Diabetic Dog Symptoms occur in almost the same way as
they are seen in human beings. These symptoms are caused when either the
dog’s pancreas secrete insufficient insulin or due to other reasons like
medication for other ailments, hyper glycemia or high blood sugar builds
up in dogs.
Diabetic Dog Symptoms are more pronounced as a small animal like a dog
loses more than usual weight. Other pronounced DiabeticDog Symptoms are
excessive thirst and very frequent urination or polyuria. As in human
beings, dogs who are obese or are under medications for other ailments
are more prone to develop diabetes.
Some Diabetic DogSymptoms disappear with an inclusion of fiber in the
dog’s diet. Obese dogs have to be progressively put on a low
carbohydrate diet so that with weight management the Diabetic Dog
Symptoms also vanish. However, in the case of persistent Diabetic Dog
Symptoms the dog may have to be taken to an animal hospital and put on
insulin injections between meals. If the dog is not very comfortable in
the hospital, the pet owner may have to arrange for administering these
injections himself at home. Some change in other medications may also be
warranted.
Like in human beings, diabetes in dogs is known to be passed down
through generations by heredity. But Diabetic Dog Symptoms occur most
often in dogs that are obese and live a sedentary life and are never
exercised either due to their bloated size, old age or other illnesses.
