Diabetes is an endocrine disorder in dogs caused by a variety of factors. Clinically, it is mainly characterized by insulin deficiency or insulin damage. The blood of sick dogs contains a large amount of glucose and is excreted in urine. The incidence rate is higher in middle-aged and older obese dogs, and the incidence rate in female dogs is twice that of male dogs. So what are the symptoms of diabetes in dogs, and how to treat diabetes in dogs?

Symptoms of diabetes in dogs:

Excessive thirst, excessive urination, excessive hunger, difficulty sleeping, easy dehydration, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, laziness, vomiting, depression, cataracts.

Overweight dogs are more likely to develop diabetes. Also, obese dogs can develop insulin resistance, which makes insulin treatment less effective. It is best for diabetic dogs to control their weight to a normal level. You can ask your veterinarian to determine your dog's weight range.

Treatment of dog diabetes

Exercise is the best way to prevent type 2 diabetes and can also help treat diabetes. Exercise maintains a healthy weight, and increased blood flow increases your dog's body's use of insulin, further lowering blood sugar levels. Exercise should be done regularly. Irregular exercise can cause glucose levels in the blood to rise and fall, which can be harmful to dogs.

If your dog is not used to regular exercise, you can discuss with your doctor to develop an exercise plan. The amount of exercise should be gradually increased from low to high.

Dogs digest food and release glucose into the bloodstream. Therefore, a meal high in sugar can cause a sudden increase in glucose, which is not conducive to regulating blood glucose levels. Therefore, diabetic dogs should be fed foods containing carbohydrates. These foods cause a slow release of glucose over a period of time; and diabetic dogs eat large amounts of fiber. At the same time, in order to maintain proper body weight, dogs should be fed food with low fat content.

​Insulin injection

Owners of dogs with insulin-dependent diabetes must learn to inject insulin at home. In order to maintain the stability of the dog's blood glucose level, regular injections of insulin are crucial.

Insulin is basically divided into 3 categories, short-acting insulin, mid-term insulin, and long-term insulin. Working hours are 1-4 hours, 4 to 24 hours, and 8 to 28 hours respectively. Every dog's need for insulin injections is different, so some dogs may need two injections per day, while others may only need one injection per day. This usually requires a veterinary exam and periodic blood tests to adjust insulin doses to determine.
