Canine Diabetes is a very common diagnosis in dogs. The symptoms are a huge variety and vary from dog to dog... Some only have one symptom, and some have them all. These can range from drinking more, urinating more, losing weight, an appetite increase, dehydration, and the dog suddenly forming cataracts. If left untreated for too long, the dog may become ketotic, which means that his cells have begun to use fat as fuel for energy. If your dog has gotten to this stage without treatment, there can be additional symptoms, such as depression, lethargy, weakness, vomiting, rapid breathing or heart rate, and in many cases, the dogs breath may suddenly smell similar to nail polish remover (or acetone). While this is a very common infliction when it comes to dogs, it can be very deadly if left untreated for too long. As you wait and the diabetes progresses, treatment will rapidly become more and more expensive. It's best for you to catch it early on and let your vet know if your pet is exhibiting any of these symptoms.

Usually excessive drinking and urination, also possible bouts of lethargy as their blood sugar rises and falls. You may also see unusual eating patterns, but the drinking and weeing is the telltale sign. Be aware that these signs are also general for kidney problems. Vets will do a quick blood or possibly urine test to determine if diabetes is present.

Do take your dog to the vet if he presents any of these symptoms, as diabetes is serious, as are any of the other possible causes of these symptoms.

Typically the same as in humans. They drink a lot more so they urinate a lot more, weight loss, periods of extreme activity and then extreme lethargy as their blood sugar levels skyrocket and then plummet, their urine may also smell extremely odd. A simple urine test at your vet can determine if your dog has diabetes - I was worried that my Lab was once, but it turned out that he has an obsessive compulsive disorder with drinkiing water.

Increased thirst and urination is usually the first symptom owners notice. If you notice these symptoms it is best to take your pet to the vet and have a urinalysis run. This will tell you if there is glucose in their urine (sign of diabetes) or if your pet just has a urinary tract infection, because Increased thirst and urination are also signs of a UTI. Good Luck!

Onset of diabetes is marked by excessive hunger , excessive thirst , and excessive urination. If the disease remains undiagnosed, the dog will lose weight as his body breaks down fats and proteins to get needed energy.

Continued failure to seek treatment brings lethargy, loss of appetite, depression, and vomiting. Affected dogs may have decreased resistance to bacterial and fungal infections and may develop liver and bladder problems and cataracts.
