CC the Wondercat

So about three weeks ago we learned the news that our 12 yo cat CC is diabetic. It was quite a shock, and I'll fully admit I spent that entire night bawling my eyes out. I've since gotten myself together and we are taking it day by day and adjusting to our new reality. She is on 1 unit twice a day of Vetsulin.

Just wanted to say hello, and that I'm glad to find this site and hope to learn as I go.

 

Hello and welcome. Pretty cat. Well the good news is cats with diabetes can live a long time. Most pass from something other than diabetes. Forming a plan now will really help you get a handle on how to treat the diabetes and maybe achieve remission. Take a look at this http://jfm.sagepub.com/content/17/3/235.full.pdf html andhttp://www.catinfo.org/#Prescription/Therapeutic_Diets_

 

Hi Janet welcome to you and beautiful CC! There's lots to learn and it can seem overwhelming, but in time you will get a routine going. Read all you can and ask lots of questions. Knowledge is the best way to help CC .

Welcome Janet (what a pretty girl you have, she’s beautiful)
I’m not familiar with vetsuline so I can’t help you with that, but I wish you and CC the best of luck with the treatment.
