DIABETIC DOG SYMPTOMS

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.
