Your dog is losing weight

Unfortunately, just like humans, pets can develop many health conditions that could lead to weight loss, such as various cancers, gastrointestinal and liver problems, stress or kidney disease. But if your pets lose weight even though they eat normally, then you should take them to the vet as soon as possible, because it could be a sign of diabetes. 

“With insulin not working to get glucose into the brain, heart and other essential organs for energy, the body will start to break down muscle and fat to use those proteins and fat instead, leading to weight loss,” explains Dr. Romine.

You should remember that when you notice certain changes in the behavior or appearance of your pet, you should consult a specialist because your beloved furry friends need special treatments and medications.
