Diabetes mellitus is a hormonal disease that often affects our cats 🐈
All cats can suffer from diabetes; however, it is most commonly diagnosed in older and obese cats.
It occurs because there's not enough insulin to keep the blood sugar concentration within normal values or because the cells become resistant to its effect.
For most cats, insulin therapy along with dietary management is the treatment of choice. Though it's a chronic disease, with proper veterinary monitoring, diabetic cats can lead long and happy lives 🥰
There are a number of diseases that can cause nausea and vomiting in dogs, from life-threatening intoxications to something as harmless as motion sickness from car rides.
A frequent cause of sickness that often results in dramatic episodes of vomiting is scavenging behaviour, which is natural to dogs 🐶
Depending on its intensity, duration and cause, vomiting can result in severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which will affect all of your pets’ bodily functions.
So, what can you do in these situations? Watch our video to find out 👀
