I have a 16-18 yr old kitty. I noticed her pee was smelling weird a couple days ago. A sweet odd smell? I called this morning to get a vet app for Saturday. Diabetes is my instant mental freak out go to.
Just got back from Walmart. Bought a glucose meter and supplies. Watched dozens of you tube videos and finally was able to get blood on my second attempt. Getting blood is much easier then pilling! I thought it would be a fiasco.
Her glucose reading is 64 mg/dL. I found online that normal is 120-300 mg/dL. Do I need to be worrying or freaking out? I have zero clue about diabetes or blood sugar stuff. Haven't had to learn anything about it yet.
No other symptoms. No crazy increase in drinking, peeing, eating. She has had more of an appetite in the last few months, but nothing dramatic.
Thanks for any insight!
ETA she is on Lysine for a chronic URI. Not sure if that could impact?
