๐๐พ November is Pet Diabetes Month! ๐พ๐
Just like people, pets can develop diabetes โ but with early detection and good management, diabetic pets can still live long, happy lives!
Letโs bust a few common myths ๐
โ Myth #1: Only overweight pets get diabetes.
โ
While extra weight increases risk, any pet can develop diabetes โ even fit ones.
โ Myth #2: Diabetes only affects older pets.
โ
Most cases occur in middle-aged and senior pets, but younger animals can also be affected.
โ Myth #3: Diabetes is a death sentence.
โ
Not true! With the right diet, insulin, and monitoring, diabetic pets can thrive for years.
โ Myth #4: You can tell if your pet has diabetes just by looking.
โ
Symptoms like increased thirst, urination, appetite, and weight loss can be subtle โ only blood and urine testing can confirm it.
