Hi, here is the situation. My cat 16yrs old have diabatic, FIV and kidney starting to act up on the last blood test which is 1yr ago. He went from 12lb to 10lb dur to diarrhea coz by vet believe FIV. After that it was all good and cat gain 0.5lb back and condition improving.
A year later diarrhea strike(not as intense as last year) again and he is now a bit over 9lb.
The reason he havn't done any test the last year is that he hate vet visit and everytime we bring him in for test it took him a couple weeks to come back to normal. For his age and condition we believe it is too much for him to go through tests 2-3 times a year.
Another thing is the vet is losing patience dur to the age i guess.
Now I have a feeling the days maybe numbered and I want to know how others deal with it.
-Do you hang on as long as he is relatively comfy?
-Wait till the next bad thing happen and let it end at ER?
-Visit the vet, do some test, wait for the bad result and let the vet tell you to give the shot?
I love him to death and just want to do whatever the best for him, and he is doing ok as we speak. The biggest question for the last year or so is the weight.
A side question, if I using the human glucose reader what should be the reading for cat? I read alot around the web and I got figure all over the place.
