High blood lipids in a dog usually cause indigestion, lethargy, and unwillingness to move; the dog is typically obese with much subcutaneous fat, and it easily leads to diabetes, acute pancreatitis, eye disease, and nerve paralysis. A dog with high lipids needs a timely diet change to long-term low- or no-fat high-fiber food, plus lipid-lowering drugs like niacin and ganliaozhi tablets. Feed on a fixed schedule, take the dog out to exercise, and watch its condition; if abnormal signs appear, see a vet.
