Afghan Hound (detail introduction)
Dog diabetes is the same as human diabetes. It can be divided into two types: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a congenital disease, and type 2 diabetes is caused by acquired factors.
Exercise is the best way to prevent type 2 diabetes, and it is also helpful for diabetes treatment. Exercise can maintain healthy weight, increasing blood flow can increase the dog's body's insulin, thereby further reducing blood sugar content. Exercise should be regular. Irregular sports will lead to rising and declining glucose levels in the blood, which is harmful to dogs.
If your dog is not used to exercise regularly, you can discuss with your doctor and make a exercise plan. The amount of exercise should gradually increase from low to high.
Dogs digest food release glucose into the blood. Therefore, a large sugar -content food can cause sudden increase in glucose, which is not conducive to regulating blood glucose content. Therefore, dogs with diabetes should be fed foods containing carbohydrates. These foods cause the glucose for a period of time to release slowly; and dogs with diabetes should eat a lot of fiber. At the same time, in order to maintain proper body weight, dogs should be feeded with low fat content.

The owner of an insulin -dependent diabetes dog must learn to inject insulin at home. In this way, it can maintain the stability of the dog's blood glucose content, and it is essential to regularly injection of insulin.
Insulin is basically divided into 3 categories, short -acting insulin, medium -term insulin, and long -term insulin. Working for 1-4 hours, 4 to 24 hours, and 8 to 28 hours. Each dog's demand for insulin injection is different, so some dogs need to be injected twice a day, and others may only need to be injected once a day. This usually requires veterinary examination and regular blood testing to adjust the insulin dose to determine.
