Managing Diabetes in Dogs

In order to correctly managing diabetes in dogs, disease and cats have to be fed a nutritious diet regime that minimizes fluctuations in blood glucose and maintains them at a healthful weight. Sort 1 diabetes mellitus is a far more significant type of diabetes in dogs in which the physique is unable to produce insulin to handle blood glucose levels and blood sugar.

Dia- What-es?

No one can ever prepare you for a disease or illness especially when you’re an animal. 

Recently, I had been feeling under the weather and I was drinking gallons of water each hour, but I didn’t understand why or how to explain myself to my family. My bladder was completely full 24/7 and I felt bad because of the 9 human years I have been alive, I experienced my first accident in the house. By the way, you read that correctly; even as a puppy, I never had an accident. This was definitely a defining moment that my family knew I wasn’t feeling well.

Not only did I have a full bladder, I also had a complete loss of appetite for dog food for about a week or so; however, I always seemed to have room for fresh cooked chicken and cold fresh cut apples my family fed me. 

My sister brought me to our local vet and the doctor said I had to do some blood work and give a urine sample. Boy, was I thrilled. 

Due to of all of my symptoms, the doctor was convinced that I had diabetes, but the results would not be in for another 24 hours. 

That night, I was mentally and physically exhausted to the point that I didn’t even want to go for my favorite daily walk. My family was worried sick, but prayed that the results would show the reasons I wasn’t feeling good so they could help me and get the medication I needed. 

Hours of anticipation, my sister, Sierra, got the phone call the next day and was informed that I was positive for diabetes and needed further tests because I also had particles in my urine. 

In layman’s terms, normal glucose (sugar) levels in a dog should be around 125 and my levels were well over 600. 

If I was left untreated, I could drop dead at any point; which was not comforting  to my family at all. I was left with no choice, but to be treated. 

How do you tell your animal that they have an illness or prepare them for all of the pain they will encounter for the rest of their life? How do owners explain to their pets that they will be in and out of the hospital? 

Car rides are not known as going to the park anymore, but for simply going to the vet, getting poked with numerous amounts of needles and being confined to a cage daily and sometimes overnight. 

Details to follow on my recovery.

Diabetes in Dogs

Just like humans, dogs get the same diseases and illness as humans. Diabetes in dogs is no different to humans, dogs also suffer.  Diabetes is a life threatening disease and should be taken care of urgently. Dog diabetes should be treated by your vet seriously or you will be putting your pet’s life at risk. Below are some facts that you should know about diabetes in dogs.

Diabetes in dogs is a disease that attacks their endocrine glands and causes not to function properly. Like humans, diabetes in dogs has two types, diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus. Diabetes insipidus is lack of vasopressin while diabetes mellitus is when the body of the dog fails to produce insulin. A hormone that controls the way your dog's kidneys take in water is vasopressin.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the deadliest diseases that your dog can suffer if you are not aware of the symptoms. There are two types of diabetes mellitus in dogs, type 1 and type 2. Both human and dogs that have diabetes mellitus suffer similar effects.  

The type 1 diabetes in dogs is also called as juvenile dog diabetes. This type of diabetes is called “juvenile dog diabetes” because this type of diabetes in dog commonly shows up when the dog is younger or still a puppy, usually at age 2.

The type 2 diabetes is just the same with humans because this type of diabetes shows up when the dog is a bit older or already an adult dog. An adult body can no longer produce insulin that the dog’s body needed in order to make the internal organ function properly. If the dog is suffering this type 2 diabetes, insulin shots for your dog is needed and ensure that you check your dog’s sugar level.  But before giving insulin shot, make sure that its insulin level is low.

If your dog suffers either of the two types of diabetes typ1 or type 2, your dog’s health is more important. It’s worth your money and time, pets bring happiness to your and your family and it can’t be replaced by material things.  Dog are irreplaceable pets because of the companionship and the loyalty that your dog brings to you and your family. Learn and try to understand more about diabetes in dogs because it can surely make you’re your dog happy and healthy for the rest of its life and yours too.
