Diabetes in Pets

It's not just humans who get diabetes. Dogs and cats as well as other pets can all suffer, particularly of they are overweight

• Canine Diabetes
  Canine diabetes is a condition where there is a deficiency of the hormone insulin or maybe insensitivity to it. Inside the islet cells of the pancreas insulin is produced.
  
  
• Cats and Diabetes
  "Your cat has feline diabetes." If this is your vet's message after examining your beloved friend, it will come as a shock. Yes, your cat has a serious disease. But you can treat it!
  
  
• Diabetes in Cats and Dogs
  When a dog or cat is brought to a veterinarian for any or all of the symptoms known to be associated with diabetes, the diagnosis is quite easily made. Testing is necessary, however, because there are other diseases that cause all or some of the same symptoms
  
  
• Diagnosing Feline Diabetes
  Believed to effect 1 in 400 cats, feline diabetes often presents itself with symptoms that are very similar to those found in humans
  
  
• Diets Are Important
• Easter Candy Can Kill Your Pet
  For millions of families, the celebration of Easter includes Easter baskets filled with sweet treats galore -- chocolate bunnies, marshmallow chicks, sugary jelly beans and snack-size versions of nearly every candy product imaginable
  
  
• Feline Diabetes
  Diabetes: we noticed Bonnie, who was then twelve years-old was looking a bit thin, but we put it down to her pining for us, and not having her usual eating opportunites
  
  
• Is Your Dog At Risk?
  The classic early warning signs of diabetes were all present when I brought my canine companion of twelve years into the Veterinarian's clinic. Muffy was lethargic, unsteady on her feet, drinking large amounts of water, and experiencing incontinence for the first time in her life
  
  
• Obesity in Dogs
  Obesity: numerous studies have shown that more Americans are obese today than ever before and, interestingly, we're not the only ones. Not only are Americans fatter than ever, so are their dogs
  
  
• Pet Diabetes
  Your pet has been diagnosed with diabetes, a disease that will necessitate conscientious treatment on your part for insulin administration, diet control and monitoring. Since your animal cannot control his blood sugar, you will play an important role in providing insulin and maintaining a good quality of life
  
  
• Pets Get Diabetes Too
  Just like humans pets can suffer from diabetes mellitus too. By a simple blood test, called fructosamine, they can be diagnosed
  
  
• Symptoms in Dogs
  It can take a while for us humans to suspect that we may have diabetes and go in for tests. It's much harder for us to spot the symptoms of diabetes in dogs
