About one out of every ten dogs will suffer from diabetes. This is because excess glucose in the body cannot process normally in the bloodstream. This in turn causes extreme thirst, which starts the vicious process all over again. There is no one cure for diabetes in dogs, but it can be managed well if caught at an early stage.

Causing an animal to suffer for no good reason is cruel, and our ordinary commonsense morality tells us in no uncertain terms that cruelty is wrong.
