November is National Pet Diabetes Month and we have been taking some time each week to spread awareness and information about the condition.
🐾
This week, we are wrapping up our awareness series by talking about the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. If your pet is exhibiting symptoms of diabetes, your veterinarian will perform a blood test. Those results combined with the symptoms a pet is showing will allow for a diagnosis. Treatment for diabetes in pets generally consists of insulin injections, proper diet, and daily exercise, but every pet is different, so your veterinarian will provide your pet with the best course of treatment for them. With proper management, pets diagnosed with diabetes can live long and healthy lives!
🐾
Your veterinarian is your best resource for questions related to your pet’s specific health and needs, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or concerns!
Some sweet faces to start the week.

November is National Pet Diabetes Month and we have been taking some time each week to spread awareness and information about the condition.
This week, we’ll start by talking about what signs and symptoms pet owners can be on the lookout for if they are concerned about a potential diabetes diagnosis. Every pet is different, but diabetes in pets can cause symptoms including: excessive drinking & urination, weight loss, decreased or increased appetite, cloudy eyes, and recurring infections. If your pet is showing these symptoms, be sure to check in with your veterinarian for the best course of action. In part 3 of this series coming next week, we’ll discuss diagnosis and treatment of diabetes in pets, so stay tuned.
Please share photos of your kitty kids.
