Diabetes in Dogs Linked to Vision Loss
Doctors for animals in Hyderabad are seeing more dogs with diabetes.
This is because people are feeding their pets the same food they eat, which can cause diabetes.
Diabetes in dogs can lead to problems with their eyes, like cataracts and vision loss.
There is also a special training for veterinarians to help them learn how to check and treat eye problems in pets and farm animals.
One infection, called Ehrlichia canis, is also causing eye problems in dogs.
Doctors are doing more surgeries to help dogs see better.
They want to make sure veterinarians know how to spot these problems early.
Diabetes in pets is increasing due to similar diets as humans, leading to lifestyle-related health issues.
Eye diseases in dogs, including cataracts and vision loss, are linked to diabetes and other factors.
A three-day training programme for veterinarians focuses on ophthalmic examination and surgical interventions.
Ehrlichia canis infection is causing eye-related manifestations such as corneal oedema and retinal detachment.
Veterinary hospitals are performing more cataract surgeries, with cases referred from outside Hyderabad.
