Metabolic & Endocrine Care at Eden Animal Hospital
Compassionate Care for Complex Conditions – Led by Dr. Kerolos in San Clemente, CA
If your pet is showing signs of illness, unexplained weight changes, or increased thirst, it could be more than just aging—it could be a metabolic or endocrine disorder like diabetes, Cushing’s disease, or Addison’s disease.
At Eden Animal Hospital, Dr. Kerolos and our experienced medical team specialize in diagnosing and managing chronic conditions in both dogs and cats. We’re here to help your companion live a longer, healthier life through expert care and ongoing monitoring.
Diabetes in Pets: Know the Signs
Diagnosing diabetes and endocrine diseases in animals can be difficult—our pets can’t tell us how they feel. That’s why a thorough medical exam is essential at the first sign of trouble, such as:
-
Excessive thirst or urination
-
Sudden weight loss or gain
-
Vomiting or diarrhea
-
Lethargy or poor appetite
Untreated diabetes can be fatal, but when diagnosed early, your pet can live a happy, active life with proper treatment.
Long-Term Diabetes Management
If your pet is diagnosed with diabetes, Dr. Kerolos and the team at Eden Animal Hospital will:
-
Teach you how to administer insulin
-
Guide you on monitoring glucose levels
-
Create a customized treatment plan to help you care for your pet with confidence
-
Monitor progress and adjust medications over time
Addison’s, Cushing’s & Other Endocrine Disorders
In addition to diabetes, we treat a range of complex hormonal conditions such as:
-
Addison’s Disease – which affects adrenal gland function and can cause dangerous electrolyte imbalances
-
Cushing’s Disease – a hormone imbalance that can cause bloating, hair loss, and behavioral changes
