Senvelgo for Cats with Diabetes - 12ml
960160
Senvelgo 12ml Oral Solution for Cats is a prescription medication used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in cats. It is a once-daily liquid formula that helps regulate blood glucose levels without the need for insulin injections.
Senvelgo is suitable for cats diagnosed with stable diabetes and is administered orally using the syringe provided. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder commonly seen in older or overweight cats. It occurs when the body is either unable to produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it does produce. Insulin is a hormone necessary for the body to regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. Without sufficient insulin action, glucose cannot enter the cells properly and begins to accumulate in the bloodstream. This leads to a variety of health issues if not managed appropriately.
Senvelgo contains the active ingredient velagliflozin, a selective sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It works by increasing the amount of glucose excreted in the urine, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. By helping to reduce hyperglycaemia without directly increasing insulin levels, Senvelgo provides an alternative approach to diabetes management in cats.
Senvelgo is not a form of insulin and does not replace insulin in all cases. It is designed for use in cats who are able to maintain stable blood sugar levels without insulin or as advised by a veterinary professional. Its once-daily oral administration makes it a convenient option for pet owners who may find injections challenging or stressful for their cat.
Each 12ml bottle of Senvelgo is supplied with a dosing syringe that allows for accurate administration. The dosage is determined by a veterinarian based on your cat’s weight and specific condition. It is important to follow the dosing instructions carefully to ensure effective management of the disease. Senvelgo should be given directly into the cat’s mouth and not mixed with food or water.

More Information
Description
Feline diabetes is a manageable condition, but it requires consistent monitoring and treatment. If left untreated, diabetes in cats can lead to serious complications such as weight loss, muscle wasting, dehydration, liver problems, and diabetic ketoacidosis; a potentially life-threatening condition.
Common signs of diabetes in cats include increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss despite a normal or increased appetite, and lethargy. If you notice these signs, it is important to consult your veterinarian as early diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve the outcome.
Senvelgo offers a new method of managing feline diabetes that does not rely on insulin injections. Its action is glucose-dependent, which means it works only when blood glucose levels are elevated. This can reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia, a condition where blood sugar drops too low. Senvelgo is typically well tolerated in cats, but side effects may occur. The most common include increased urination and mild dehydration. In rare cases, urinary tract infections may also develop.
Regular veterinary check-ups and blood tests are recommended during treatment with Senvelgo to monitor glucose levels, kidney function, and overall health. Senvelgo is not suitable for use in all cats. It should not be used in kittens, pregnant or lactating queens, or cats with certain pre-existing medical conditions such as severe kidney disease or recurrent urinary tract infections. Your vet will assess your cat’s medical history and determine whether this medication is appropriate.
Feline diabetes requires long-term management. Although Senvelgo can help stabilise blood glucose, regular veterinary visits and home ketone monitoring remain a critical part of the treatment process. Owners should maintain a daily routine, monitor food and water intake, and keep records of any symptoms or changes.

Prozinc Insulin for Cats and Dogs - 10ml
Prozinc Insulin for Cats and Dogs
Prozinc Insulin is a vet-prescribed insulin used to manage diabetes mellitus in cats and dogs. Prozinc contains protamine zinc insulin, an intermediate-acting insulin derived from recombinant human insulin. Prozinc is specifically formulated to help regulate blood glucose levels and reduce the symptoms associated with diabetes in pets. Prozinc is most commonly prescribed for cats with diabetes mellitus, but it may also be used in dogs under veterinary direction.
Prozinc helps stabilise glucose levels by mimicking the action of naturally produced insulin in the pancreas. The use of Prozinc requires a vet’s diagnosis and ongoing monitoring to ensure proper dosage and effectiveness.
How Prozinc Insulin Works
Insulin is a hormone that plays a critical role in regulating glucose levels in the bloodstream. In healthy animals, insulin is naturally produced by the pancreas and helps transport glucose from the blood into the body’s cells, where it is used as a source of energy. In diabetic pets, the body either does not produce enough insulin or is unable to use it effectively. This leads to elevated blood glucose levels, which can result in various health complications over time. Prozinc contains protamine zinc recombinant human insulin, designed for a prolonged effect. Once injected subcutaneously, Prozinc gradually releases insulin into the bloodstream, helping to control glucose levels throughout the day. Its intermediate duration of action allows for fewer injections compared to shorter-acting insulins. This makes it a suitable option for ongoing diabetes management in both cats and dogs when prescribed and supervised by a veterinarian. Each dose of Prozinc is tailored to the specific needs of the pet, based on factors such as weight, blood glucose readings, and clinical signs. It is important that pet owners closely follow veterinary instructions and monitor their pet’s condition regularly.
Senvelgo for Cats with Diabetes - 30ml
Senvelgo for Cats: The New Treatment for Feline Diabetes
Senvelgo for Cats is an oral solution designed to manage diabetes mellitus in cats. Formulated with velagliflozin, Senvelgo offers a targeted solution for maintaining glycaemic control, providing cat owners a streamlined and effective approach to caring for feline diabetes. This product is specifically indicated for cats who are newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and have not been previously treated with insulin.
Senvelgo’s daily oral administration is convenient for pet owners, available either by direct oral application or through a small amount of wet food. With careful weight-based dosing, Senvelgo allows precise control over the medication quantity administered. Additionally, it does not require refrigeration, making it a practical choice for pet care.
How Senvelgo Works
Senvelgo works by reducing high blood glucose levels, or hyperglycaemia, in cats with diabetes mellitus. The active ingredient, velagliflozin, is classified as a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It targets the kidney's function of glucose reabsorption, promoting the excretion of excess glucose through urine. By facilitating this process, Senvelgo helps to regulate blood glucose levels without relying on insulin injections, making it an alternative to insulin for cats not previously treated with insulin.
The action of Senvelgo is typically well-tolerated, leading to visible improvements in glycaemic control in some cats as early as the first week of treatment. This control minimises the risk of common symptoms associated with untreated or poorly managed diabetes in cats, such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss. Moreover, the solution has a low risk of causing hypoglycaemia, a condition of dangerously low blood sugar levels, which is a concern with some diabetic treatments.
Keto-Diastix for Cats – Urine Ketone & Glucose Testing Strips - 50
Keto-Diastix are urine test strips designed to measure ketones and glucose levels. These strips provide a quick and reliable way to monitor ketone production and glucose levels, making them essential for managing conditions such as diabetes mellitus.
Ketones are produced when the body burns fat for energy instead of glucose. High levels of ketones can indicate a serious condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which requires immediate veterinary attention. Monitoring ketone levels is particularly important for cats undergoing treatment with Senvelgo, a medication used to regulate blood glucose in diabetic cats.
Keto-Diastix is a simple and effective tool to help cat owners and Vets track changes in urine composition. The test strips are designed for easy home use, providing results within seconds. By regularly testing a diabetic cat’s urine, owners can detect early signs of ketone buildup and take the necessary steps to prevent complications.
