Mist is 14.5 years old. She's a diabetic who was first on glipizide, now controlled with diet. Osteoarthritic, taking cosequin 4X week.
Her last vet check visit was on October 5, all was good, glucose on the high side but vet's new puppy was yapping and dashing around.
She is now drinking lots of water and consequently peeing copiously. BTW - I measure out a cup of water, pour into water bowl. 24 hours later I pour remaining water back into measuring cup and note consumption. Mist is drinking 1/2 to 2/3 cup H2O in 24 hours, which is a huge amount for a cat.
Vet back from a week's clinic on Indian reservation in Arizona. Took Mist in today for senior panel. The lab will check glucose, thyroid, and kidney function.
I am hoping for a flareup of diabetes as it was easily managed.
Her brother Fog was euthanized on Oct 11. I really, really would have liked more of a break before dealing with this.
Please, sympathy and good vibes for us and our sweet cat.
P.S. Her weight is unchanged at 8.6 pounds.
