I'm so sorry. We just had to put our sweet girl down today so my heart especially, deeply, goes out to you.
Hello everyone, It is with great sadness that I announce our sweet Haley crossed the Rainbow Bridge suddenly this afternoon. I woke up to her...
Hello! It’s almost a week since my last reply and I just wanted to give a quick update! Haley has regained her appetite and is drinking water of her...
Thank you! She's our big beautiful girl :)
Thanks. I forgot that the gravy options were more carb-loaded. It's still better than her dry kibble, though. And she doesn't eat pate. She won't...
My vet friend also said it's too high to start off with. But I'm going to be donating the insulin and needles back as we honestly don't feel she's...
I guess this kind of scenario isn't completely uncommon! That makes me kind of angry. If feline diabetes is becoming more and more prominent due to...
Well, after talking to my vet friend who specializes in cats and taking more blood glucose readings, I'm very confident Haley is not diabetic. I...
Well, live and learn from mistakes made I guess. That's good. I'm glad they adjusted their methods. I'm not glad it took your Quintus to inspire...
Update: Haley has been grazing all day and ate about a third of a can of Fancy Feast beef in roast beef gravy about an hour ago (which I puréed and...

I'm so, so sorry; my heart goes out to you.
Yeah, there was definitely a more tactful and empathetic way of saying what they meant. E.g., "I've had a few diabetic patients in the past and...
SHE DRANK OUT OF THE DISH ON HER OWN!
I back up everyone voting for C. Had I done A, I would have dosed my girl right into a hypoglycemia coma this morning. She was 72. I was supposed to...
Update: Haley isn't back to 100% yet, but we've made some improvements :) -I went to Walmart tonight to get more 10-13% or less (carb) Fancy Feast...
Thank you for confirming. Right now I'm actually tearing up thinking about what could have happened had I blindly listened. And thank you for the...
He asked a lot of questions to see if maybe she accidentally got poisoned or got infected by being outside and etc. At the end he chalked the seizure...
That is correct: the 72 was after 14 hours of fasting with NO insulin. Again, her brother for comparison was 69 during his shorter fast, same...
Thanks! Yep, we're going to keep testing periodically (especially after food) and yes, we are trying to work in wet food and a lower-carb dietetic...
