Omg What a great story, thank you for shearing Your story with your vet is not uncommon, I have found it to be the norm. Are veterinary office is constantly changing veterinarian. The new one a few weeks ago looked at me like a deer in headlights. She tried to advise me that I should never...

Good morning On the food question and this is a great question. Dry food for our cats is not really good. I'm guilty of giving even our current cats who are not diabetic dry food because it's simple and easy. If our cat who is diabetic even has a few bites it sends her blood sugar skyrocketing...

Hi I was reading your post. I'm using the same insulin as you. We get the 5 pen pack from Canada. Where we live it cost $300 for what we get in Canada for $150. Question. Did you say your not testing pre shot? This is REALLY dangerous for your cat. The vet almost killed our cat doing this. The...

@lts3 Hi guys, I replied without reading the whole tread. Sorry! To the guy who thinks feline diabetes is a joke. You are clearly uninformed and uneducated on this sucject. I would advise you to educate yourself to this subject. Sorry I have not posted on here in a long time. I'm currently a...

Hello Long time, I did join their site thank you so much. I unreal dedicated group of individuals! They are there with you at any hour! Thank you so much for the referral ! I have become a lot more knowledgeable when it comes to feline diabetes. In most cases I'm know more then the vets.

Hi guys and gals Our kitty Willow came down with diabetes, after a month long of hell and incompetent vets we were able to save her. Not all vets are incompetent, just most that deal with feline diabetes. The problem is they do not have enough training or knowledge to even be given advice...

Well Things turning interesting for Willow, it turns out she how diabetes. After almost losing her and four different vets advise to put her down she is doing just fine and her aggression has tapered to almost nothing. A member on this form advised me to go to...

Hi thank you again There was and episode after the doctor gave a shot of insulin that after 3 hours she was 19mg. This was before the new insulin. The vet assured me that night he gave her very little and not to worry. She almost did not make it, the ER vet said he did not think she would make...

Hi thank you so much for the advises and help. We did get the half ones and the other ones. Right now anything below a 300mg no shot for her, she only weighs between 6-7lbs. She does not like to eat a lot of food at one time, she rather graze and this has caused us problems. The good news is we...

Thank you for the help and advised, I will go on there. The first insulin was NP with white stuff in the bottom of the bottle, the second bottle is glargine, that is the $300 a bottle it is a slow delivery long lasting one. On the units I have been doing shots for most of my life mostly cc with...

Thank you so much, you and your family are just like my family, our pets are family and we will do everything we can to help them in their time of need. When we were at the vet there is a animal shelter right next-door, this is where we got our other two cats, they are feral cats brother and...

Thank you so much, Willow is laying next to me now. We had to leave over night and had to have the vet send someone to our house to give Willow her a shot in the morning, our vet went ahead and had her brought into their office to do another curve. He only charged us for her food. He said he...

Wow it has been a crazy few months for our family and our fairly new adopt cat Willow. We adopted this 14 year old female cat September 2015, we ended up spending around $1,000 within the first month due to the condition she was in. After having to get her spaded I noticed she was drinking and...

Good morning, Thank you, My wife is leaving now to pick her up and take her to our vet, they said she stabilized last night. Some good news! I feel there are two kinds of people who own pets, ones who if the cost hits their limit they decide sorry buddy your taking that long nap in the sky...

I feel I need to add some of the story behind this cat so you can understand my Frustration! We adopted a 14-year-old cat a few months ago, the owner was going to put her down if they did not find a good home. My wife talked me in going to see the cat, her name is Willow, she was in really bad...
