November is diabetes awareness month in the veterinary world and human medicine also. Early detection of clinical signs and testing is essential to stabilising diabetes.
For the whole of November, we are offering one free urine testing for VIP cats and dogs over the age of 8. This will check the concentration of the urine, the pH and detect presence of protein, ketones, blood and most importantly, glucose. (Additional testing for bacteria and crystals and diabetic blood tests are not included)
Diabetes is diagnosed from a combination of clinical signs, blood results and urine testing and we use all of these to monitor diabetic control long term.
If you need to collect non-absorbable litter or a urine collection pot, then please pop into the clinic and we can supply you with some (free of charge for November also).
We will be spreading awareness of canine and feline diabetes throughout November, if you have any questions then please speak to a member of the team☺️🦮🐈🩺
