Hi there Took Gem to the vet for a recheck. This visit was mainly to see how the meds were working on her heart and liver but also check the diabetes. Her heart looks the same, which is good I guess in that it hasn't gotten worse. I asked for some clarification on the kidneys - they said it...

Hi all Gem seems to be doing ok, better than when we brought her home Friday from her week at the vet, still not so energetic but better. I decided to give home BG testing a try best I can. I'm not at home to test every hour or even 2 hours but am trying to get a bunch of samples over a few...

Hi there, I've posted on the health forum about Gem, my 13yo diabetic cat who was recently diagnosed with heart & kidney problems. Here's a quick food history. For most of her life, we fed Gem Science Diet dry food (feline maintenance, I think, was the one). We didn't know any better, thought...

Hi I recently switched my cats over from a 100% dry food diet to all canned food. They are fine with the food, but it seems like one of the cats is consuming much more water than in the past. I would have expected the opposite. Is this a sign of a problem? She had been fully checked out by the...

Hi I have 2 cats - 1 male, about 14 years old, weighs around 9-10lbs (weight has been stable since he was full grown), 1 female, about 12 years old, weighs around 15lbs :( I've recently transitioned the cats from a free-fed dry food diet to a canned food only diet. Right now they are eating...
