Cat diagnosed as Diabetic today, need help!
Sorry this is long.
Hi,
We took both our Cat's to the Vets today for their yearly check and also to mention a few changes in our little Girl Cleo, such as her drinking more, the Vet weighed her and noted that she had lost some weight since our last visit and because she is drinking more he did took a urine sample and tested it and it showed up that she has Diabetes, so he took a blood test to check hoe her general health is, we later got the results back and everything is look fine, we have an appointment on Thursday morning to discuss what to do and so that the vet can show us how to inject her, she will be getting two injections of innsulin a day, I think this is a start off dose to see how things go.
I haven't a clue what to do, I'm still in shock and I'm scared!.
I've been reading some threads on her about Diabetes and I found a link to
http://www.yourdiabeticcat.com which talks about changing the diet to a low carb wet diet, Cleo is currently fed on Royal Canin Indoor Mature and Oral Sensitive and they have 1 tray of Almo Organic Bio Pate between the two of them a day.
Does any one have any advice on any good quality food that I could may be change them too (available in the UK)?.
Is anyone on here from the UK have a Diabetic Cat?, what kind of diet do you follow?.
I would appreciate any advice, at the moment I'm so worried and unsure about it all.
