Hello, my name is Laura and I just found out yesterday that my almost 13 year old cat Blackjack has Diabetes. Feeling overwhelmed right now, but ready to learn everything just as I did when a few years ago Blackjack was diagnosed with pancreatitis.

 

Welcome Laura and Blackjack! It is overwhelming at first, but it will get easier. Come to the Main Health forum and tell us more about Blackjack and we’ll help you learn all about this sugar dance. Hope to see you there!

 

Welcome! Being overwhelmed in the beginning is pretty normal.

 

Beautiful Blackcat Blackjack!!! Welcome

 

I have done so much reading that I became pretty overwhelmed. I think it’s the anxiety of giving the injections and pricking his ear.

 

Thank you!

 

I promise its not as bad as it seems. They often don't even feel it.

I have a video in my signature showing how I test my cat CC at home.

 

Thank you, I did watch it. Looks fairly easy, but in the beginning I think my husband will have to help hold Blackjack.

 

It will get easier the more you do it. The main tricks are to warm the ear and give the treat!

 

Thank you!
