Abstract
The presentation of hyperglycemia in dogs is quite common and is a product of
various causes, for this reason, the objective of this work is to establish a relationship
with the presence of hyperglycemia and some predisposing factors of this, with the
early manifestation of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Thus, the veterinarian also needs a
clinical examination, the medical and genetic history of the pet, in order to determine
if such a high blood glucose presentation is pathological. Therefore, in this work by
taking serum glucose by means of glucometer AlphaTrak Zoetis, the existence of
hyperglycemia will be related to specific data such as: Physical activity of the animal,
its body condition and that are between the age range of the animals. 5 to 7 years;
This is because they are part of the main characteristics associated with DM disease.
Now, since DM is a subclinical disease, there is no way to confirm its presentation
in an accurate way, because when it is diagnosed they do it through the anamnesis,
counting on specific data such as the animal's lifestyle and age; and some clinical
signs such as polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, weight loss, among others. This is
why it is very important to achieve an opportune diagnosis of this disease before it
reaches its critical point, which will have a negative influence, causing cataracts
among many other consequences and affecting the quality of life of the animal.
