HOME NEEDED FOR A DIABETIC CAT 5.5 Years Old

[Craftlady]

Has she checked into mail ordering the supplies (should be way cheaper than getting from the vet's office)?

Tell whoever adopts her that get her syringes and insulin at Walmart. A box of 100 syringes is approximately 13 dollars and vial of insulin, at least the kind I use for mine is about 18.00 dollars. At one time I had SEVEN diabetics, most of now died and I only have 3. Giving shots is not hard at all. The main thing is keeping them on a regular schedule and paying close attention to them in case of their blood glucose getting too high or too low.

Maybe getting supplies at Walmart will allow her to keep Jasmine?

I sent her the idea and hopefully I will hear from her soon. I did ask her if there is a certain timeline and she never replyed.

Jasmine is so beautiful I'd hate for her to end up in the pound.

I also just thought about something. There is a diabetics group on yahoo. I don't know the link but if you google it you probably can find it. Also critters blongs to a group handicapped pets that if I remember right has a meesage board for diabetics. I use to have the link on my favorites but they worked on the computers at work and I lost all of them. I will try to look it up or pm critters.

After MUCH thought and several family discussions..we would take her, I spoke with my vet and he is fine with monitoring her sugar and also dealing with the thyriodic dog and the vWB dog. As this will not add much more to our vet bills we are willing to adopt her. If we can get some transport help. Please let us know.

OH that would be so great.

Where do you live?

Thanks,
