November is Pet Diabetes Awareness Month. Pet diabetes can be effectively managed, but lack of owner awareness may be the biggest risk factor associated with this condition. Failure to treat diabetes in pets can lead to some devastating and life-threatening health issues. Signs of the disease can be difficult to spot, and can even be mistaken as symptoms of other conditions. Dogs and cats with diabetes usually sleep more and are more lethargic during the day. Symptoms may also include increased water intake, increased urination, and increased appetite. Sudden weight loss can also be an indicator of diabetes. Pets exhibiting these signs should be seen by a veterinarian immediately. Call us for an appointment at 954-428-5599 should you have any concerns about this disease.
