In the late stage of diabetes, the symptoms of old dogs will be nephropathy, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, ketoacidosis and so on. Different complications have different dying symptoms, often accompanied by incontinence, convulsions, foaming at the mouth, dyspnea and so on. Finally, the breath disappears, the heart stops, and the body gradually becomes cold, reaching an irreparable state of death. Symptoms of advanced diabetes in old dogs When an old dog suffers from advanced diabetes, there will be many complications in the body, and the symptoms will be manifested as kidney disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, ketoacidosis and so on. Different complications have different dying symptoms, often accompanied by incontinence, convulsions, foaming at the mouth, dyspnea and so on. Finally, the breath disappears, the heart stops, and the body gradually becomes cold, reaching an irreparable state of death.

The reason why the old dog suffers from diabetes is that the dog's body can't metabolize sugar normally because of insufficient insulin, so the dog's blood has too much glucose and the dog's cells don't have enough glucose. Just like humans, dog diabetes can be divided into two types: 1 type diabetes: it is a congenital disease, also known as juvenile diabetes. Type 2 diabetes: this is an acquired disease, which is caused by the dependence of dogs on insulin, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes. This usually happens in aged dogs (7- 10 years old).

Treatment of diabetes in elderly dogs: exercise is helpful to the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Exercise can maintain a healthy weight, and increasing blood flow can improve the utilization of insulin in dogs, thus further reducing blood sugar content. Exercise regularly. Irregular exercise leads to the rise and fall of blood sugar level, which is harmful to dogs.

Dogs with diabetes should be fed foods containing carbohydrates. These foods lead to the slow release of glucose for a period of time; Diabetic dogs eat a lot of fiber. At the same time, in order to maintain a proper weight, dogs should be fed low-fat food.

The owner of a dog with insulin-dependent diabetes must learn to inject insulin into it at home. Only in this way can the dog's blood sugar content remain stable, and it is very important to inject insulin regularly.

Insulin is basically divided into three categories: short-acting insulin, medium-term insulin and long-acting insulin. Work 1-4 hours, 4 to 24 hours and 8 to 28 hours respectively. Every dog needs different insulin injections, so some dogs need to be injected twice a day, while others may only need to be injected once a day. This usually requires veterinary examination and regular blood tests to adjust the insulin dose to determine.
