Diabetes in Pets

It is not only the human kind that can develop diabetes.

Even our beloved pets, no matter how well we care for them,

can develop diabetes.

This is often a scary situation for the pet owner and the

first question that is usually asked of the veterinarian is

-will my pet need to be put to sleep-

Of course this is a difficult issue and the answer may vary

on the overall age and health of your pet.

Many older pets that are diagnosed with diabetes go on to

live many more happy years, but this takes commitment and

close care of your pet.

It is also more of a financial obligation to have a sick

pet. So it is something that should be discussed in length

with your vet.
