1. Check the dog's health regularly.
If the dog's condition tends to be stable and there is no problem, you can give a targeted review to the diabetic puppy every six months to understand its current physical condition, and then formulate the corresponding management plan. If the dog is usually ill, the owner needs to do more tests on the sick dog and listen to the guidance of the veterinarian. In addition to targeted testing, it is best to give dogs a whole-cell CBC analysis every six months, because diabetes will have many complications. In addition to detecting blood sugar, it is also necessary to know whether other organs are normal. Once the dog is found to have some complications caused by diabetes, it needs to be treated as soon as possible to prevent the disease from getting worse.
2. Learn the knowledge of insulin
If the dog has diabetes, it is necessary for the owner of the pet to learn something about the dog's insulin. Pet owners need to know how to store insulin, the amount of insulin that dogs need to inject, when to inject insulin into dogs, and how to inject insulin correctly. These are all things that pet owners need to know clearly. Because dog diabetes is lifelong, it needs treatment and care at home.
3. Pay attention to the dog's behavior
For dogs with diabetes, owners usually need to pay attention to their daily behavior. Understand whether their water consumption and urine volume have changed; Whether the appetite is normal and whether the weight has changed greatly; Also pay attention to the changes in the appearance of dog eyes. If an abnormality is found, the owner may not know whether the problem is big or not and whether it will have any serious impact. Therefore, it is suggested that the owner take his dog to the dog's pet doctor to understand the situation and deal with the abnormality in time.
4. Give the dog a blood sugar test at home.
Dogs with diabetes also need regular blood sugar monitoring, which can be done at home without going to the hospital every time. Using the dog's home blood sugar monitor to help the sick dog do blood sugar tests regularly, the owner can better understand the dog's blood sugar status and make appropriate adjustments to its insulin.
5. Do a good job in the healthy diet management of dogs
According to the dog's situation, learn from the dog's pet doctor how to adjust the dog's diet, formulate appropriate recipes for sick dogs, strictly manage the dog's diet, feed according to the recipes, arrange a healthy diet for dogs according to the prescribed schedule, and control the blood sugar of sick dogs.
6. Let the dog develop the habit of regular exercise. Dogs with diabetes cannot just stay at home. Instead, they should do proper exercise to help them keep their body function. But the intensity of exercise should be appropriate, and you must not exercise or exercise excessively. You can talk to the dog's pet doctor and get an exercise schedule. Dogs with diabetes should strictly control their weight, because obesity will also aggravate their condition.
