SENVELGO (velagliflozin oral solution): A Needle-Free Treatment for Feline Diabetes | Vet2Vet

Feline diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine disorders in cats, with studies showing that up to 30% of diagnosed cats are left untreated due to the challenges associated with existing treatments. SENVELGO (velagliflozin oral solution) is a once-daily liquid prescription medication for cats with diabetes mellitus. Because cat owners can give SENVELGO with a small amount of food or directly into the cat’s mouth, it provides practitioners with a convenient alternative to insulin. In this edition of Vet2Vet, we delve into how this drug works and which patients are suitable candidates, as well as discuss monitoring and troubleshooting considerations.
