Dearest Geoffrey and Patricia, I am so very sorry to read about the passing of your dear Suki, how absolutely heart breaking, you will both be in my prayers. Fly free sweet Suki and land softly, You are so loved!

Are you absolutely sure your cat isn't nauseated? Cats hide it quite well when they don't feel good, but signs can be sniffing food and walking away, lip smacking, inappetance. CKD kitties as well as pancreatitis kitties often suffer from inappetance, your vet should have given you something...

Whew, I am glad you were able to get the curve done at your vet, sorry to hear about the skin irritations and scabbing, your guy sounds like a real trooper! I had a curve done at my vet's once and found that "vet stress" caused my Tiger's Blood Glucose to be upwards of 100 mg/dl higher :-( So...

Do you check ketones at home? My vet said to get Ketostix at Target, so I could check Tiger at home. I will continue sending healing vines and good wishes r you and Oreo, I hope his curve isn't going to require a sedative, poor baby. (Not that you need anything more to worry about, but...

I'm sorry your kitty is going through this. I would check with your vet,it is my understanding that the better you can manage your kitty's diabetic numbers, the less he will suffer with neuropathy. My Tiger was diabetic for 2 years and was well regulated before cancer took her from me. I found...

I'm so glad to hear Oreo isn't had an ongoing vomiting problem! My Tiger did have acute pancreatitis that turned to chronic and it was a nightmare. Fingers crossed that Oreo never has to deal with pancreatitis! Although I haven't had time to post much hre, I am still thinking of your Oreo and...

I've been in California attending a memorial service for the last 65 days but I have been thinking of you and Oreo a lot. Sorry to hear you had such a time getting him into the carrier- big hugs to you both for that stress! Neosporin time? I know many are able to approach the kitty from...

Does it seem like his ears are cold to the touch? Glad to hear he is doing better on Lantus. This will get better for you, you're doing a great job!

What a wonderful picture of your handsome guy!! Sorry to hear that, big hugs to you and Oreo. Calmer is definitely better, honestly, breathe deeply and try singing to Oreo when you're getting ready to test and shoot. He will look at you funny and he may think you are nuts, but if this makes...

I'm so sorry to hear you've had some hard times with Oreo, I cannot imagine having 4 cats with special needs...big hugs to you. If you are not successful after say, 3 attempts to draw blood, just give Oreo his treats, praise him and let it go. Honestly, just let it go that time. And yeah...

Hang in there---did your vet say anything about using Pain Relief Neosporin on Oreo's ear after the testing with the lancet? I learned this trick on FDMB- you just need a tiny bit on a bit of cotton and gently pinch the ear to stop the blood flow. It will take a short time for Oreo's ear to...

Hooray!!! And congrats!!! Now take a DEEP breath, and another!! This will get easier! I am so glad to hear your kitties love the bonito flakes too...I personally knew lots of other Sugar-Cat Moms who had to use the Kitty-burrito technique to give shots and draw blood for the tests, not fun at...

Are you offering low carb treats with each shot and every time you attempt to test his blood glucose? My Tiger loved freeze dried chicken Pure Bites and dried bonito flakes sprinkled on her Wellness Salmon and turkey wet food, for example. I would offer a treat every time you attempt to test...

Ditto- and so eloquently put!!! It is the most final act of love we can provide for our babies, and better a day too early than one single minute of suffering! Healing prayers and thoughts to you and your two kitties, bless your heart!

(((((((Stephen)))))) and family,  I am so sorry for the loss of your dear sweet little girl Mabel, my heart breaks for you, I hate cancer so much!  I hope that all is well with your mother and the rest of your family.  You will all be in my thoughts and prayers...  As I read your tribute and...

(((((Stephen)))) I'm so sorry it was Mabel's time to cross the Rainbow Bridge, thanks for posting this here as I don't look at the other forums too much these days. Going to the other forum now, thanks for letting us know.

I am very glad I have my blender, here in the US, we call it the Magic Bullet?  It is a sturdy little machine! Could you share your mum's recipe for yogurt? Thanks!

I should have said this earlier but have you been talked to your doctor and had any testing done?   In my two years of misery, I got to be on a first name basis with my gastroenterologist My  gastro doctor said unless you have pancreatic insufficiency(white or light colored, loose and smelly...

This is such a funny coincidence that I found this post...My two kittens just go nuts over the freeze dried Feline Natural chicken/lamb, my pet store only just got the canned pates so we will see if that is something they will like as well.  Have you tried the raw version by chance?  and do you...

I had some serious digestive issues after gallbladder removal in 2011. After 2 years of struggling, my doctor suggested trying a probiotic. I have been taking NOW foods 10 strain, 25billion for 4 years and now I would not go a day without taking them!  You want as wide a variety of strains as...
