Diabetes and Cats


Diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin or your cat’s inability to manage the insulin her body creates. This condition can occur at any time during your cat’s life especially if she is or has been obese. Diabetes is a manageable condition and your cat can live a long time with it if it is diagnosed and treated properly. Untreated, diabetes can cause other health issues such as kidney disease, neurological problems and other conditions that can lead to death. Your cat may exhibit symptoms such as an increase or decrease in appetite, excessive thirst and urination, weight loss, lethargy and an unkempt look. Since these symptoms are common to other conditions, you need an accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment plan from a medical professional. Treatment may include a change in diet or regular insulin injections. Regular blood work will ensure your cat’s blood sugar is at a proper level. For more information, contact your Veterinary clinic Glendale, AZ.
