Lucky us - we get to celebrate International Chihuahua Appreciation Day with Faye! ๐๐
Faye is a longtime patient who was recently diagnosed with diabetes after her awesome parents noticed she was losing weight and urinating excessively.
Dog diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is a chronic condition where the body cannot regulate blood sugar properly, typically requiring lifelong, twice-daily insulin injections and consistent, specialized care.
Common symptoms include:
โขexcessive thirst
โขincreased urination
โขweight loss despite a good appetite
โขlethargy
While not curable, most dogs with managed diabetes can live full, happy, and active lives. ๐พ
If your pet is showing any of the above symptoms, don't hesitate to bring them in for an appointment ASAP! ๐จ
