Cotton just had his annual check-up (although he actually goes every 6 months because of his age and thyroid condition) and I finally have an answer as to why he's losing weight again despite eating plenty - apparently his blood glucose is up in the 30s and the vet thinks he's developed diabetes...my poor boy can't catch a break.
So he's off the vet today for some more tests to determine exactly how we'll treat him but I was wondering if anyone with a diabetic cat would mind sharing their experiences.
Considering he had the full panel done because we were worried he'd developed either diabetes or CRF (due to weight loss and really big pees) part of me thinks it would rather deal with diabetes.
Any thoughts and experiences are very welcome. I like to know what I'm in for.
