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.


Diabetic cats and dogs can live just as long as perfectly

healthy pet if the diabetes is diagnosed and treated

properly by both the veterinarian and the owner.


This takes great commitment from the owner. Pets must be

cared for and watched daily with a high level of care and

patience.


There can be no feeding the cat and forgetting until the

next day. There is no leaving the pet along to go on a

trip. Every day your pet will need medication, fed a proper

diet and his behavior will need to be monitored closely.


This doesn’t mean you will have to give up your job and

stay home full time with your pet, but it does mean you

will have to pay more attention to what his behavior is and

know what to do if the situation should change.


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.

Serious skin care

 ‘Serious skin care’ is about maintaining a healthy and glowing skin all through your life. As you grow older, your body’s natural skin care mechanisms become weaker.

Whatever be the cause, ‘dry skin care’ is very important (but not very difficult).  ‘Dry skin care’ starts with moisturizers, the most effective remedy for dry skin.

These moisturizers are relatively inexpensive and are readily available (even at grocery shops).  The second category includes moisturizers that work by drawing moisture from the environment and supplying it to the skin.
