According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, early signs of diabetes in pets may include:
💦Excessive thirst and urination
🦴Weight loss (without a decrease in appetite)
🥣Decreased appetite
☁️Cloudy eyes (more common in dogs)
🦠Recurrent infections, such as skin or urinary infections
🌟In addition, the Canadian Animal Health Institute notes that diabetic cats may stand or walk with their legs down in a ‘plantigrade’ posture.
❗️If you’ve noticed any of these signs in your pet, we recommend contacting your veterinarian promptly. As pet sitters, we’ll keep an eye out and notify you if we observe any of these symptoms in your pet.
