DOG DIABETES SYMPTOMS | ||||||
| Diabetes occurs in dogs when insufficient insulin is
secreted by their pancreas. This is the primary and most common diabetes
in dogs. It is also called mellitus diabetes or sugar diabetes. There is
another more serious form of diabetes in dogs known as hyperglycemia or
high blood sugar. Dog Diabetes Symptoms are most commonly found in dogs who are obese and are seldom exercised. Heredity also plays an important part and good dog breeders keep a record of such details. In rare cases, diabetes in dogs occurs as a result of some medication. The most common Dog Diabetes Symptoms are excessive thirst and frequent urination. There is some amount of lethargy and a loss of appetite. Some Diabetic Dog Symptoms 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. |
