November is Pet Diabetes Awareness Month!
🐶🐱
Did you know?
- Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine disorders in both dogs and cats.
- Early detection and management are key to keeping your pet healthy and happy.
🐾
Signs to Watch For:
- Increased thirst / drinking more water than usual
- Peeing more often or having accidents
- Always hungry but still losing weight
- Low energy or acting “off”
- Dull coat or less grooming (especially in cats)

❓ What is Diabetes Mellitus?
Diabetes happens when your pet’s body can’t properly use glucose (sugar) for energy. Normally, the pancreas makes a hormone called insulin, which helps move sugar from the blood into the body’s cells.
In diabetic pets:

The body doesn’t make enough insulin, or

The body doesn’t respond to insulin properly

Without insulin doing its job, sugar builds up in the blood instead of being used for energy — leading to increased thirst, urination, weight loss, and tiredness.

With proper diagnosis, diet, and treatment, many diabetic pets live long, healthy lives!

If you’ve noticed any of these signs and are concerned, call us to schedule a check-up — a simple blood and urine test can provide answers.

On November 11, we pause to remember and think of all the veterans, first responders and all the front-line workers who sacrificed and continue to sacrifice to keep us all safe. We are grateful and thankful for your service.

While the red poppy honours those who wore the uniform, the purple poppy recognizes those who stood alongside them – animals who served in wartime. Horses, dogs, pigeons, and others carried messages, pulled supplies, and offered comfort in moments of fear and uncertainty.

Their contributions were quiet but vital, and many gave their lives in service. The ABVMA honours the contributions of every life given in service.

🐾 What is Body Condition Score (BCS) ? 🐾

The BCS aids veterinarians in determining whether an animal is underweight, overweight, or at an ideal body weight. The BCS method transcends numbers on a scale and provides us with a more comprehensive view of a pets physical condition. It can help veterinary teams and pet owners spot early weight gain, even when the scale doesn't seem to budge!

The BCS scale typically ranges from 1-9 , with 1 indicating that the pet is severely underweight and a 9 meaning that the pet is severely overweight. Using BCS regularly helps us catch changes early and make adjustments before health risks escalate.

Contact RVC and schedule an appointment to address any weight-related concerns or to get guidance on nutrition and exercise.

Ideal BCS: dogs ~4–5/9, cats ~5/9.

Meet Pauley Toes, also known as Pauley Walley Oxen-Free — King of Lap Gremlins 👑

This sweet fur baby lives for his couch snuggles and will corral you to the couch until you curl up so he can too. He will lay in your lap and happily purr away. He is very attuned to energy, so he’ll do the same when he knows you’re anxious or stressed and will purr and snuggle it away from you.

He’s a sweet 8-year-old boy, who would do best as the only animal in the house. This way, he can give and receive all the loving and cuddles he needs.

It is only due to rental subsidy rules and other situations that I must make the difficult decision to find a new home and forever family for my sweet baby boy.

So, if you’re looking for an elder kitten who has a lot of personality and love, Pauley is your guy.

With all my love,

Pauley’s mom,

Dawn

***Note: Adoption is not through RVC directly. If you’re interested, please email RVC ([email protected]), and we’ll forward your info to Pauley’s loving mom, Dawn, who will provide more details. 📩

Please tell Dawn a bit about yourself and answer the following questions:

Tell us about your home: Do you rent or own, and is it an apartment, house, or other?

Who lives in your household? (Adults, children, and any pets)

Where will the cat spend most of its time? (Indoors, outdoors, or both)

Have you owned cats in the past?

Why do you want to adopt this cat?
