Thank you!!

thanks! I did check it out 🤗

Hi iPappy - thanks for your reply. We gave him his shot near where he eats and he barely noticed!! So, much improved since yesterday. We just form a tent (well hubby does while I hold Frankie) as the tech showed us just anywhere along his back. She didn't mentioned doing it near the shoulder...

silent meowlook: Our vet tech only mentioned the glucose monitor, not that we had to get one. But you're indicating it's essential. I'm unfortunately on a tight budget and this new expense is not helping. We've already spent $1,000 on this adventure. And his new food is three times the cost of...

one thing I forgot to mention was that we're to bring him back after 10 days on insulin and have him checked. so far, he hasn't been acting strangely like the vet says most cats with diabetes she's seen. I guess because he's not "fully" diabetic? Only borderline? Thanks for all the replies, it...

That was my thought too, to wait until he's done eating. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much!

Thank you. I did see that message board when I was looking around here and checked it out a little bit.

Hubby usually takes their calls and he said the glucose was in the high 300s and not sure about the fructosamine number. They showed us a monitor that we can use at home. It's Pro Zinc insulin and we're to give him one unit twice a day.

Greetings. It's been a while since I've posted here but I got such great help when we first adopted Frankie that I'm back for more :) Over the summer we noticed that Frankie was drinking lots of water, very unusual for him. Then he started losing weight so we took him to the vet and he was...

Thanks so much. Yea, we have wondered what could be the issue like you say your cat had a bad tooth. The issue still has not revealed itself. He's staying hydrated in that we changed from mostly dry food to more wet food so that he gets more moisture. His boxes do not have lids so that isn't an...

So glad Ruby is doing better! Not sure if this is progress but about an hour ago Frankie had that "look" and he was about to hop onto the couch and I grabbed him, placed him in his box where he left a nice load. hopefully we're almost done with this.

I thought I'd give an update and also to see how Ruby is doing. Pretty much the same old, same old. we're still cleaning up after Frankie and if we're fast enough we can hold him in his box while he does his duty. However, after many conversations with the vet I am pretty sure it was the food...

ah yes, we do have the same issue indeed. Frankie arrived 3 years ago very stressed and we knew at the get go that we would eventually have more episodes in the future. well, here we are. I think you're onto something with the food. guess what? we had the SAME ISSUE!! so the stuff that Frankie...

ah.....and we thought we were done with this episode. I guess not. Darling boy wouldn't eat his supper. He's now taking a dislike to one type of wet food that we bought a case of.....and on we go. Then, since he wasn't going to eat it anyway, I added water to it like the vet suggested since she...
