What Is Hill's Prescription Diet m/d GlucoSupport Chicken Flavor Dry Cat Food?

Why Is Obesity a Silent Killer in Cats?

Obesity is the most common nutrition-related disorder in pet cats. Your cat is classified as obese when they are more than 20 % more than the standard weight for their size. Obesity in cats leads to a steep decline in their quality of life as it affects their mobility and physical activity.

Being overweight can make osteoarthritis significantly worse, especially in older cats. As the extra weight puts more pressure on the already damaged cartilage, the condition progresses much more quickly than it should. Obesity negatively impacts cats with hip dysplasia and diabetes.

With the rise of obesity in cats, diabetes has become alarmingly common. Diabetes is a condition where your cat doesn't produce enough insulin to regulate the sugar in their blood. Proper nutrition is imperative in cats with diabetes, as blood sugar is directly affected by what your cat is eating.

Diabetes or the inability to regulate blood glucose is dangerous. Because the body cannot get enough energy from the food your cat is eating, it turns to other sources like protein and fats in your cat's body. This results in your cat losing weight at an unprecedented rate even though they might not want to eat.

Other symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst and urination, dehydration, and nerve damage. Untreated diabetes can lead to acidic ketosis and diabetic coma, both of which can be fatal. If you have a Burmese cat, you should know that they have a genetic predisposition for developing diabetes mellitus.
