Abstract

Diabetes
mellitus is an endocrine disorder that often seen in dogs. Depending on the
severity of the metabolic disorder, the disease can be asymptomatic or can be
characterized by clinical symptoms such as polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia,
weight loss and weakness that affects many organs and systems. The influence of
genetic and environmental factors on the formation of the disease is great. Diabetes mellitus is mostly seen in
dogs over four years of age, but rarely in puppies. The incidence of the disease is known to be higher in female dogs
than in males. Along with genetic
factors, diet, physical inactivity, drugs and obesity are influential in the
formation of the disease. In this
study, diabetes mellitus scan was performed on 150 dogs brought to animal care
centers in Antalya province, but no diabetic dog was found. Dental examinations made on dogs were found to be the largest dog
is 3.5 years old. According to this result, it was observed that the dogs
living in the streets could not live more with the effects of poor care, nutrition
and hunger. It was thought that the
survival of the dogs in the nursing homes and the younger average age, and not
the races predisposed to this disease, were effective in the absence of
diabetes mellitus.
