Captain is my 14ish year old DLH. He was diagnosed with diabetes a little over a year ago and has been doing great. His last fructosamine showed that his blood sugars were in the range of a non diabetic cat, he gained back all the weight he lost prediagnosis. But something strange has happened 3 times that I'm wondering about. I took him straight to the vet the first time it happened, but the second time I just waited, and it happened again this morning and I'd be willing to be he'll be back to normal tomorrow.
What happens is almost like he loses his vision. He walks funny, like he's afraid to run into something, one time he walked straight through his plate of food. But it only lasts about 24 hours. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening and causing this? Like I said, the first time it happened, I took him to the vet, who did a CBC, and nothing was found to be abnormal. She specifically tested his kidneys because she said that kidney failure could cause blindness. Just looking for thoughts on this.
