Detroit, Michigan News Releases

(Detroit.CityRegions.Com, November 26, 2015 ) Taylor, MI -- To increase awareness among pet owners that diabetes can affect their pets, the month of November has been designated as National Pet Diabetes Month. Diabetes is reported to affect between 1 in 100 to 1 in 500 dogs and cats and experts believe that this disease is on the rise.
Dogs and cats with diabetes often develop other health problems, usually after living with diabetes for a year or more. For dogs, the most common complication of diabetes is cataract formation. Persistently high blood glucose levels make the lens of the eye become opaque causing blindness. For cats, weakness of the hind legs is a common complication. Persistently high blood glucose levels also may damage nerves, causing weakness and muscle wasting.
For both dogs and cats, avoiding high blood glucose levels should help prevent or delay these complications. For this reason, early diagnosis of diabetes is important. Today, with early diagnosis, effective treatment and monitoring, a diabetic dog or cat can have the same life expectancy as a non-diabetic dog or cat.
Some common signs of diabetes in dogs and cats are excessive thirst, excessive urination and lethargy.
To draw attention to National Pet Diabetes Month and celebrate the Christmas holidays, Grama's Kitchen offers a Christmas design adjustable Pet Collar at a 33.5% discount from Amazon for a limited time and while supplies last. The collar is made of durable red nylon with a red ribbon overlay in a tree, snowflake and reindeer pattern. The collar has an easy snap plastic buckle and a metal ring for connecting to leashes. The collar adjusts from 17" to 27".
