Day 1

Hi everyone - Misty was just diagnosed and we started insulin tonight. She is 15 years old. So much information to take in!!

 

Welcome! Yes there’s a lot to learn, but we will be glad to help you and Misty along the way. Come to the Main Health Forum and ask any questions you have. Hope to see you there!

 

Welcome

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome to you and your kitty!

You can find a lot of great info in the yellow stickies at top of each board.

One thing that would help is if you can set up a signature with particulars like your cat’s, weight, diagnosis date, type of food, other health conditions, type of insulin, dose, etc. this will help other members to answer your questions and not have to repeatedly ask about the basics of your cat.

Setting up your signature (light grey text under a post). Here's how:
click on your name in the upper right corner of this page
click on "signature" in the menu that drops down
type the following in the box that opens: kitty's name/age/date of diabetes diagnosis/insulin you're using and dosage amount /glucose meter you're using/what (s)he eats/any other meds or health issues (s)he has. You can add your name, and a geographic location (sometimes the time zone matters) Be sure to SAVE when you are finished.
