Is it safe to feed boiled chicken to 'Bugs'? I am so confused on what to feed him.

plz tell me what BID is? Bugs is on I hope a low carb diet of FF classics and Friskies. I am so not sure what is low carb and not. i also boil chicken for him... plz help??

I will tell u this, and a lot of people may or may not agree. If u have some antibiotics of your own or know someone with that u can get, give that baby that, in small doses. I have done this many times with my own kitties worked well. If it is in capsule open capsule take over half out and give...

I agree with blue, have them fixed and get the hurt one to the vet....  

I just took Bugs's BG and it was 343....how on earth do I get this down?.. He is now on FF classics (wet) He seems ok, but I am worried. My vet told me to keep his level below 300, is that the norm??  

Thank you so much for the info. Just bought it..I hope to get bugs back on track. I test his blood weekly and it runs anywhere from 180 to 220. I tell his vet each time, he doesn't seemed to worried. I will take him to vet soon to re- check everything.. Again Thank you!

Bugs has been on insulin for 5 months now, he is now having problems with his back legs not working right. He is having problems getting into litter box and moving in general. I don't kno what to do, any suggestions please?

Thank you. Bugsy is my best friend. He is doing GREAT now that we found another vet that helps us. He is now on insulin and doing awesome. Thank you so much for your concern. Jenn and bugs...  

Bugs is doing awesome. We took him to different vet who put him on insulin , it is now up to 3 unit x a day and a diet of D/M. He has gained some weight back and is starting to be more playful... my suggestion to people who have diabetic cats is to not give up. This is not a death sentence find...

Bugs is doing great. Went to vet on thursday Nov 1st for second appt... Vet upped his dose of 2 units to 3 he is still peeing a river. the out look is good though. He is feeling much better and is even starting to play a bit.... Anyone out there with a kitty with diabetes, don't give up. It is...

I am so sorry, I wish I could delete my nasty post. You are one of the lucky ones with Glipizide, although I will say this, it did kinda keep Bugs sugar level down. When I first took him to this vet his level was off the charts. I do not know why he would not help us with insulin he just refused...

I know, I'm sorry. I am still upset with that vet. But, Bugs now has a vet that cares and will get better thanks to him. No.. Glipizide did not work for him at all really our new vet had told us that that drug has never been tested on cats and could not understand him giving it to bugs. Now he...

YES, you are right on "every" cat is different..  First of all u have not heard 'our' story. We took Bugs to a vet WE thought may help us for 2 1/5 months has done NOTHING but charge us more and more money. He put him on Glipizide which had done Nothing for him...Bugs got worse and worse.. I...

Honey, we have been contemplating the same thing for Bugs, who is younger but has been becoming more and more sickly.  when i read your thread all i could do was cry.  i'm so sorry for your loss, katiesmom, and i hope that time does make it easier for you.  please stay in touch.  

Sorry, Friends...  Internet has been sketchy.  Here is what you all have helped me to do:       You were right, Doc Reily was not a good vet for a diabetic cat.  he kept increasing his oral meds (Glipizeid, which isn't even for cats!), and wouldn't test his blood (though he charged us for that...
