In summary, the early symptoms of dog diabetes are three more and one less. Three more and one less means that the dog gradually begins to drink more, urinate more, and eat more, but the weight may gradually lose weight from the initial fat state, and the weight loss is obvious. As the disease progresses, dog diabetes may even manifest as high blood sugar, high blood fat, and high cholesterol.

Early treatment methods for dog diabetes:

1. Food therapy. First of all, we need to improve the dog's diet, feed more low-carbohydrate foods such as meat and milk, increase the fiber content in the food, promote intestinal peristalsis, shorten the time that food stays in the intestines, and avoid the occurrence of postprandial hyperglycemia. It is also necessary to strictly limit the dog's intake of sugary foods and supplement with sufficient amounts of B vitamins.

2. Drug therapy. The drug treatment for diabetes usually involves injecting insulin or taking oral chlorsulfanil and other drugs. The owner should choose the dosage of the drug under the guidance of a doctor according to the severity of the dog's condition.

3. Exercise therapy. If the sick dog is also obese, you need to take the dog to exercise more to enhance the dog's physical fitness, strengthen muscles, and optimize weight.
