What Happens If a Golden Retriever Eats Salt Often?

What Is Diabetes in Cats?
Feline diabetes develops when a cat's body makes too little insulin or responds poorly to it. Without enough insulin, excess sugar spills into the urine and cells starve, sometimes producing toxic ketones. Signs include ravenous appetite with weight loss, dull coat, excessive drinking and urination, and sweet-smelling urine. Diagnosis uses blood and urine tests, while treatment centers on insulin injections, lifelong in most cases. With careful monitoring, diabetic cats can live comfortably for years.
