Diabetes in Dogs

Read and translate the text using vocabulary.

urine - моча

to skip –скакать, прыгать

vomiting - рвота

insulin - инсулин

shock - шок

 

When too little insulin is present, the body can't use glucose for energy. It is forced to break down fat for energy. The body produces ketones (acids) and releases them into the blood and urine. When animals with diabetes do not take enough insulin, especially in times of stress or illness, ketones are produced. Ketones warn the diabetes may be out of control.

Diet is important, do not give any food other than what is specified by vet. Healthy dogs can go for days without food, but if a diabetic dog skips two meals, - call the vet. Vomiting is another sign of trouble.

 If dog is slow, sluggish, appears confused, with staggering walk, it could be insulin shock. Increased exercise lowers the blood sugar. No treats, in case they contain sugar.Be very careful when dispensing the insulin, use exact amount only.

Must have water at all times.

Dogs can live for years on insulin.

Diarrhea can be a sign of many illnesses. It can be caused by fear or stress. If the dog is normal in every other way, try offering mashed pumpkin or yoghurt to settle the tummy. Cooked, deboned chicken & boiled rice may tempt a picky eater. Never force-feed. If the diarrhea persists then get a vet. Puppies are especially at risk from dehydration. There is no time to loose in the case of a puppy!

II. Read the text, using the Vocabulary

coprophagia – копрофаги

a dog poo – кал собаки

in the event – в случае

to detect – находить, определять

nutritional stuff – питательный корм

to digest - переваривать

to grow out of habit – становиться привычкой

to chew - жевать

to deworm – избавлять от червей

faeces - кал

 to gnaw on – грызть, глодать

Coprophagia.

If your dog is eating dog poo he will probably come to no harm except in the event of the poos being from a sick animal. Dogs sometimes detect some nutritional stuff that has not been digested and have a second meal of food that has passed through the body. Dogs usually grow out of this habit. Make sure your dog is getting enough to eat. Read the instructions on the dog food packet and weigh the dog to determine how much food to give each day. Giving the dog something to gnaw on may also satisfy his desire to eat. Pet shops sell many types of chews. Remember to deworm your dog regularly as worms sap a dog's strength, causing him to need more food. Sprinkling curry powder on fresh faeces may give him a nasty shock and put him off trying to eat them in future.
