    I know I was fairly new here, but I had to let the best thing that has ever happened to me go tonight. She saw her usual vet last Friday to teach us how to use the glucometer and give the injections, and the plan was to start the insulin yesterday. Well, Saturday she stopped eating. We took her to the nearest emergency vet, and she had been there since. She was treated for dehydration and ketoacidosis. Her condition worsened over the two days, and this morning she was moved to the ICU. We went to visit her and bring her blankey to hopefully raise her spirits, but when we got there, her caretaker had just received today's blood test results and it showed more abnormalities than normalities. She could barely hold her head up or move, and only perked up for a brief second when we she saw us. The vet said she was most likely barely clinging on and fighting hard, and recommended considering euthanasia. We decided it was best to end her suffering.

    Rest well Kitty, you'll never be forgotten.

    I'm so very sorry. I recently lost my 2 (non diabetic) girls within a month.
    You did everything you could and by letting her go you did the most loving and unselfish thing.

    Thank you all for your kind words. I just wish we could have caught this sooner, or there was more I could have done. I miss her so much :cry:
