If your dog is feeling sick or not acting normal, please call your vet and schedule a checkup. You should definitely notify your vet if your Boxer is presenting signs of diabetes such as weight loss, excessive thirst, excessive urination, lack of energy, hunger, etc. You can schedule a wellness exam to find out if your dog is diabetic or if he is coming down with some other type of illness. General symptoms of diabetes may also include lethargy, depression, enlarged liver, cataracts, bladder or kidney infection and even obesity. Your vet will need to run lab tests that include blood work and a urinary analysis to make a diagnosis. In most cases abnormally high levels of sugar will be present in both blood and urine. A treatment plan may include insulin injections, oral medications and dietary changes for your Boxer. Consult with your veterinarian Shreveport, LA for more details.
