Weight Management Increase Exercise
24
The first prescription drug aimed for canine weight-loss in the USA Dirlotapide Targets small intestine Reduces fat absorption Gives a feeling of satiety Therefore reduces food intake i.e. calories Goal Lose 3% of body weight every month Different phases Weight loss phase Maintenance phase Consult your veterinarian!

Obesity in animals is associated with other health issues Diabetes mellitus Heart Disease Liver Disease Orthopedic Issues

27
Diabetes in Animals Type I Pancreas unable to produce insulin Treatment is insulin dependent Most common type found in dogs Type II Pancreas makes insulin but body does not respond or is resistant to it Most often brought on by high carbohydrate diets Most common type found in cats Over weight cats are 2 times more likely to develop diabetes Obese cats are 4 times more likely to develop diabetes Over weight cats are 2 times more likely to develop diabetes Obese cats are 4 times more likely to develop diabetes
28
Appetite can be excessive or absent Symptoms Sudden weight loss or gain Excessive drinking or urination Blurred vision and cataracts Weakness in back legs Thinning of skin
29
Treatment Primary treatment is centered around diet and exercise If that is not enough than an insulin injection program will be implemented Primary treatment is centered around diet and exercise If that is not enough than an insulin injection program will be implemented

A simple change of diet can go a long ways in helping to reduce the effects of diabetes. A low-carbohydrate diet reduces the amount of insulin needed and stabilizes blood sugar levels in cats. A high-fiber, moderate-carb diet has been recommended for dogs. Diet

Type 1 Treatment Islet Cell Encapsulation – transplant of insulin-producing Islet cells encapsulated in permeable membrane to shield them from the immune system Islet Cell Regeneration – Involves a protein that is responsible for the regeneration of Islet cells and other important hormones in the pancreas – in clinical trials Islet cell development from stem cells Ongoing Research
33
Gene Therapy – an oral medication consisting of viral vectors containing the insulin gene is digested and delivered to the upper intestines where it is reproduced Type 1 Treatment Immunization – a biochemical mechanism is being researched that prevents the immune system from attacking beta (insulin-producing) cells Type 1 Prevention Ongoing Research
