If your dog does get diagnosed with the condition, you can make changes to their routine to keep them healthy \u2013 especially if you catch the illness early. Here\u2019s Head Vet Sean with everything you need to know if you suspect your dog is diabetic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is diabetes?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diabetes is a condition that stops the body making or responding to insulin, the hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. This can cause diabetic people and dogs to experience dangerous swings in blood sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is diabetes common in dogs?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diabetes is less common in dogs than it is in humans. Around 1 in every 200 dogs will develop it at some stage in their life. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">signs of diabetes in dogs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Symptoms of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">canine diabetes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Increased hunger<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Increased thirst<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Weight loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Urinating more (including accidents)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Depression and lethargy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Urinary tract infections<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cataracts<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Slow-healing wounds<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Frequent skin infections<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">symptoms of diabetes in dogs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can also be signs of other problems \u2013 your suddenly-thirsty dog isn\u2019t necessarily diabetic. However, it\u2019s best to be sure, so if your dog shows signs of the disease, it\u2019s best to take them to the vet to get checked out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What causes diabetes in dogs?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In humans, diabetes is often linked to obesity \u2013 this is known as Type-2 diabetes. In dogs, this is rarely the case \u2013 for our pooches, the cause is usually genetic. Similar to Type-1 diabetes in humans. This means some dogs are more prone to developing it than others. Factors that can affect how likely your dog is to suffer from diabetes include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Breed<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some breeds are more genetically prone to developing diabetes. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Samoyed<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cairn Terrier<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dachshund<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Poodle<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yorkshire Terrier<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Border Terrier<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Schnauzer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bichon Frise<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Border Collie<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">English Setter<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Age<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diabetes usually affects middle-aged and older dogs. But because <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">diabetes in dogs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is usually genetic, rather than lifestyle-related, it can sometimes occur in young dogs too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other health conditions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your dog has pancreatitis, certain viral infections or Cushing\u2019s disease, they\u2019re more susceptible to developing diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Veterinary treatments<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Certain medications can cause diabetes as a rare side effect. If in doubt, speak with your vet. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What should I do if I think my dog has diabetes?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you notice any warning signs, it\u2019s important to take your dog to the vet as soon as possible. Left unchecked, diabetes can cause complications. The sooner it\u2019s diagnosed, the easier it is to treat. Your dog should recover quickly once their blood sugar levels are back in the healthy range. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are the tests for diabetes in dogs?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Blood and urine tests are the only way to definitively diagnose canine diabetes. These tests are straightforward, and can be done at your local vet practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to treat diabetes in dogs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Treatment for diabetes in dogs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> involves a balance of diet, exercise and insulin injections. All three play an important part in keeping your dog\u2019s blood sugar levels stable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Insulin<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most dogs with diabetes need an insulin injection after each meal. This can sound scary at first, but your vet practice will show you how to do it, and how to check you\u2019re giving the right dose. The needles you\u2019ll use are small, and won\u2019t hurt your dog. Most owners find that it quickly becomes a normal part of their daily routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diet<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once your dog has been diagnosed, your vet will give you advice on any changes you need to make to your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">diabetic dog\u2019s diet<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Ingredients promoting stable blood sugar levels, such as bioflavonoids from sweet potato can be beneficial. Diets that provide slow release energy sources are also advised. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019re here to support you and can help you develop a feeding plan that\u2019s suitable for your dog.
