Scratchings & Sniffings Out Loud:
Diabetes in Cats Part I

On today's Scratchings and Sniffings Out Loud podcast Dr. Grace and Dr. Larry discuss a serious but often manageable disease: diabetes. Interestingly enough, November is National Diabetes Month. As you can see on this CDC page for Diabetes, this disease is a "leading cause of kidney failure, blindness" and worse! What you might not know is that it affects dogs and cats, too.

Today, on our podcast, we will cover what it is and what to watch for. Next week, we will have Part II - with information on how to manage diabetes if your cat is diagnosed with it by your vet.
