Diabetes in Animals
1.  Diabetes in Cats and Dogs - from Pet Remedy.com - "Lower your cat or dog's blood sugar, safely and effectively
with absolutely
NO SIDE EFFECTS !"

2.  PRINCIPAL NATURAL TREATMENTS(from A Natural Approach to Diabetes for Pets
Treatments for pets with diabetes include: natural diet/high-fiber diet/high-protein/low carb, exercise, glandular therapy, chromium, and vanadium.

Natural Diet  
Dietary therapy is useful in both dogs and cats with diabetes. Most diabetic dogs require insulin as they have type I diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes). Many cats may not require insulin, as they have type II diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). These cats are most likely to respond to therapies that may include dietary therapy, nutritional supplementation, and exercise.  Feeding a LOW-carb diet seems to help cats with diabetes according to a cat care book; sometimes even helps avoid the use of insulin! Find out more about what's actually in the food you feed your pets to help them stay healthy. The Raw food diet seems to work wonders too!

Healing Remedies and Related Topics
1.  Feeding Herbs to PetsHelp for Pets with Arthritisutrition is the crux of any of the holistic healing modalities and is the most important factor in the prevention of arthritis. Many times changing to a raw-food diet helps the animal and obviates more drastic measures."  " ....Circulatory tonics such as yarrow, hawthorn, rosemary and ginkgo are worth considering for internal use.
