My first time posting a help message. I adopted my 15 yr old Speckles 5 years ago when she was 10. She always been a bit overweight and has lost 2 lbs since she came to me. Recently she has been drinking alot of water which leads me to diabetes. I have an appt at the vet's this weekend but would like to hear your opinion.
Speckles hates to be picked up, held or restrained in any way. A trip to the vet's office is very tramatic for her and it takes two to pill her. If she is diagnosed with diabetes I'm torn as to treatment. Giving her injections will be just as hard on her as me. Not sure whether I should let it run it's course and intervene at the appropriate time or?? I know that cats can live normal lives with regular injections and testing but she will be very unhappy with all the "pokes". Has anyone else been in this situation. Appreciate any help you can give.
