The Princess - Cessan is a 12 1/2 year old Norweigan Forest Cat. Chocolate color and was thrown away in a small wooded area in March 1994. IN a Blizzard! I found the 6 men letting their dogs jump at her as she lay in a ditch almost dead on July 1st '94.
My pup went and started to wash her and I scared the men away. She has been a Good and Faithful Friend and Nurse since then.

Cessan - 12 1/2 year old Norweigan Forest Cat
Diagnosed Diabetic Dec 2006
Caninsulin - started on 0.06 units but was bottoming out
Am trying to regulate now. Let her have dry vet food for 1 1/2
weeks (the last 2 weeks) BG went crazy. Took it away after
doing more reading and last night and yesterday she only had
home made diet. Running 5 BG now which is normal.
But sure she isn't ready to be insulin free.

Caninsulin 0.06 bid was what vet started her at.
I dropped it right away as she hit 1 and totally hypo
Was bouncing from dry food only via vet - from 31 to 25 and he said was good!
I said I wanted lower and he said do what you want and we will check her in 6 months.
I found a home made diet with low carb and started her on that and she liked it until she decided chicken was not an everyday meal. During this time she was getting lower readings and then she stopped eating. Gave her some dry food again and she shot all over the place. Back to homemade with a couple tablespoons dry and then found this group.
First 24 hours with just wet low carb and all dry food thrown out.
