Not yet.
Arnie has been unwell for a week or so but he went downhill quite rapidly over the last few days.
I’ve just driven thirty miles to a veterinary hospital to see if they can bring our poorly cat back from the brink. Looks like we have a diabetic in our house.
Not yet Arnie, we’re not ready for this, you’ve sprung this on us and we’re holding on tight to you.

We’ve had diabetic cats at the rescue I volunteer at and they are just as solid and unwavering and stubbornly clinging to life (honestly, some of them are 20+) as the rest. Am sure he’ll be fine once the necessary treatments are in his system. Thinking of Arnie (and you!) x

Best wishes to Arnie. I nursed a cat through diabetes for over two years, with insulin injections, but he was totally an inside cat and I could measure his insulin dosage by his food consumption as I fed him in isolation. The thing with diabetes is getting the insulin dose correct, to keep the blood sugar at the correct levels. Alas, there are no insulin meters for cats and you wouldn’t want to be pricking their paw pads all the time to get samples. Your only hope to getting the insulin dosage correct is being able to strictly measure what he eats. Good Luck. My Jett was a sweet heart and was so good about holding still for his insulin injections.

My dog passed away two week ago, so this hit especially close to home. Hopefully he’s able to make a quick recovery. Best to you and your family.
