My dog takes Ursodiol for liver issues. Can it cause or worsen diabetes?

Question

My dog is on Urisodil and Denamarin for abnormal liver functions. She has been diagnosed with Diabetes and we are presently giving her 2 doses of 5 units of insulin twice a day and checking BG. My question is since Urisoodil causes Diabetes in People could it cause diabetes in dogs. Don't want to hurt her trying to help her. thanks.

While I can't speak to ursodiol's side effect profile in people, I can tell you that ursodiol does not cause diabetes or exacerbate existing diabetes in dogs. Continue working closely with Mindy's vet to regulate her diabetes and liver dysfunction. I don't see any contraindications or interactions between insulin, ursodiol, and Denamarin. Best of luck with everything!
