Diabetes in Cats

[Taz_Zoee]

My friends cat was diagnosed to be diabetic. She fed him dry Wellness, I don't know which kind, it is in a red bag. She stopped his insulin when her life turned upside down with the death of her husband. I watched him for her for four months and he never had a relapse. He also actually lost a pound while in my care. I have no clue how since he was mostly confined to one bedroom.

I wish you luck with your diabetic kitty. I always thought I could never give shots, but I had to do much worse than that with my RB Taz. I had to give him sub-q fluids, so now giving a shot is a breeze for me. Yes, when it's your babies health at stake you will do things you never thought you could.

Hi Taz_Zoee,
That was so sweet of you and a gift of love to step in and care for your friend's cat for her. I'm sorry about your RB Taz. My Vet did say sometimes a cat can go into remission, so I'm hoping and praying. I know what you mean about doing things for a beloved pet. My other cat died over a year ago of cancer, and I was giving him subq fluids, with some difficulty. So this needle is a breeze in comparison. I will have to ask about the dry food next Vet visit. Originally, her Vet said no dry, canned only, but Maggie is always looking for her dry kibbles.
Thanks again.
