Sadly, feline diabetes doesn’t really care what kind of cat
you are or how many lives you have left. Feline diabetes can affect cats of all
ages and all breeds including the American Bobtail. The diabetes disease can
happen in cats when their body isn’t producing the right amount of insulin.
Insulin is a hormone in the body that’s used to regulate the body’s energy
levels, blood sugar levels, etc. When insulin isn’t produced, the glucose is no
longer regulated correctly through the bloodstream and into the cells of the
body. When this happens the body breaks down fat and proteins instead. Cats
with diabetes may lose weight suddenly, stop drinking, drink more, become
lethargic, etc. If you are concerned with your cat getting diabetes, make an appointment with your veterinarians London, ON. Your vet
will most likely run a urinalysis and run blood work to determine a cause and
provide treatment.
