It may arise in animals as well as in humans. [1]
The condition is treatable and need not shorten the animal's life span or interfere with the quality of life. [1] If left untreated, the condition can lead to cataracts, increasing weakness in the legs (neuropathy), malnutrition, ketoacidosis, dehydration, and death.
