Do animals also suffer from blood pressure and diabetes?

Answer 1

I am sure that pets that are fed people food eventually will suffer from the same ailments as people.

Answer 2

Yes they can and do. Animals can get just about every health issue we can. Phyically their organs and the way their bodys work is almost the same design. I have seen diabetes in older animals more common. i gre up on a ranch and we had a horse that was diabete. Just like people if the problem is treated right they do just fine. We even had a horse that was allergic to dust, beleive me that was interesting to care for. I have seen dogs with epalepys. I beleive the only thing they can't get is STD's but there is a form of AIDS for cats.
