When my dog Keetna was diagnosed with diabetes, my veterinarian told me to monitor her blood sugar with urine strips – an inaccurate but easy method. Blood glucose testing that human diabetics do is much more accurate. But veterinarians historically have not made blood glucose monitoring a part of home care.

There are some symptoms that you can take note of in your pets and if you see any of the following symptoms you may want to seek medical attention from a vet. Here are some of the warning signs that your pet may be sick or not feeling well:
1) If your pet is acting differently around you and either wants a lot more attention than usual or not any attention, it could be a sign that he is not feeling well. For instance, if your pet is normally very affectionate and wants to always be around you and be petted and suddenly is acting withdrawn and goes off by himself a lot to hide, it may be a sign that he is not feeling well. That also goes for if your pet is normally independent and spends a lot of time by himself and suddenly acts like he can’t get enough attention, he may as well be sick.
