Abstract:
One of the most common non-communicable chronic diseases and the most common endocrine
disease in both humans and animals, diabetes is characterized by disorders of the entire metabolism,
especially carbohydrate metabolism and by complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves and vessels
blood. In many studies, dogs have been favored due to breeds of breed, genetic molding, and it is found to
them that the living environment is important in acquiring diabetes over time, the disorders being
heterogeneous by race and characterized phenotypically . The aim of the present paper was to identify the
correct and early diagnosis of diabetic animals, to establish the mechanisms by which the secondary cataract
of diabetes occurs, to establish a correct treatment, so that the diagnosis errors in the future will be as rare
as possible. For this, dogs with diabetes were monitored even over a year, blood glucose levels were as close
as possible to the normal range, using appropriate treatment for each patient, using appropriate diets by
encouraging a proper exercise regimen , But not least by properly informing the owners of diabetic animals.
The primary objective was to detect diabetes and secondary cataracts as early as possible by determining
blood glucose, ketone bodies, ocular ultrasound, and electroretinography, followed by appropriate treatment
for each patient with Mixtard-30 and / or Lantus insulin. Of the 25 significant cases studied, 14 were treated
exclusively with insulin, ie insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, sometimes supplemented with oral
hypoglycemia, 7 patients were treated exclusively with oral hypoglycemia and 4 cases were treated with
insulin as well as with Oral hypoglycemia. Cataracts present in 56% of subjects were treated with good
results using Quinax eye drops. Good results were achieved by observing a constant caloric intake at each
meal, feeding half of the total caloric intake at each insulin injection, maintaining the same meal hours,
avoiding dietary changes, and following a daily, daily exercise effort.
