MEG & TEDDY???? Where are you???

Just wondering how everything is doing with Teddy's treatment. As I offered before, I'd be glad to give you a hand. I'm in Minnesota also. Unless you're in Duluth... then, I'll try and talk you through whatever you need help with... Robin and Harley are close to me, along with several others.

I learned home testing by myself... so of course that can be done also. I was just wondering if we'd all scared you away. This is the greatest site you could find to help you with a diabetic kitty. I wrote this a year after finding FDMB.

A Time Not Long Ago
©2005 By Carol Notermann

I’m sitting here and thinking of a time not long ago
A time when I did not know, just what I didn’t know!
It ended with a phone call. The vet had done a test
And all of us here on this site, I think you’ve guessed the rest.

Thus Feline Diabetes became a real familiar term
Along with glucose levels, there was much for me to learn.
“I’m going to have to stick my cat to give him insulin?”
I knew I couldn’t do it, you all just don’t know him.

My baby’s got an attitude, and I was shocked to see
That everything you told me, I did and he let me.
He lets me prick his little ears, and slowly test a drop,
And stick a strip beneath him, when he’s peeing and can’t stop.

He’s vocal when I give his shot, but sits there very still
He knows that I won’t hurt him, he knows I never will.
I’m grateful that I found this site, and took the time to learn
I’m grateful for you people, who explained each brand new term.

I’m sitting here and thinking of that time not long ago.
And wanted just to tell you, I’m so glad that now I know
That ‘Feline Diabetes’ are not the worst words I could hear.
For this disease is treatable, for that I give a cheer!

 

I didn't get scared away! I'm amazed at how happy every one is to give me advice and make me feel welcome. I live about an hour south of St. Cloud... is that anywhere near you? Also, I posted a story about a stray we took in, if you know anyone who would be able to give him a home, please let me know!! Having another cat in the house is really stressing Teddy out.
