Aussie says Hi

hi, I am new here. I have a 14 year old, male cat named Aussie. He was diagnosed April 2014 and went into remission in May. He hasn't needed any insulin since, other than once two weeks ago when he got into another cat's food who was visiting. I've kept him on the same strict diet since being diagnosed and I check his BG regularly. Hoping he doesn't come out of remission at all but I want to stay vigilant as the vet says it's possible at any time.

Hello Jessi and Aussie, and welcome to FDMB!

 

I see you're in Canada so, being an Aussie myself, I am wondering - how did Aussie get his name?

Vyktor has been in remission for three years now but I still test his BG every week to make sure we're still okay. If they do fall out of remission the sooner you're onto it the better your chances of a second remission so good on you for staying vigilant

 

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't plan to drop down from weekly testing to monthly. I also feel I'd rather be on top of any future problems that might occur - I think it's important to notice as soon as possible if they fall out of remission.
