Monitoring Your English Mastiff’s Blood Sugar Levels

If your English Mastiff has recently been diagnosed with canine diabetes or diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes), talk with your vet about a change in diet, change in environment and daily medications either orally or by injections. Monitoring your dog’s blood sugar will most likely be split between you and your vet. Routine monitoring is required as your dog’s blood sugar levels may change over time and require an increase or even a decrease in medications. If your dog starts to show increased appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, and weight loss, call your vet right away. It’s important to always report to your vet as changes in your dog’s condition could occur suddenly and require immediate treatment. If your dog needs routine testing on a weekly or even a daily basis, ask your veterinarian Olathe, KS if a home glucose or sugar testing kit would work.
