The learning curve is steep, but very short. A glucometer purchased at your local megamart and some high protein low plant based ingredient cat food purchased at your local pet store (certain flavors of fancy feast is one popular brand Wellness is another. I even used Walmart brand food for a foster and had great results. There are many OTC foods that are much better then the expensive 'prescription' food your vet will offer.<br /><br />Check out felinediabetes.com and especially the message boards if you get a diabetic diagnosis there are a large number of wonderful people with a lot of experience who can help you at any time of the day. <br /><br />You should also check out http://www.catinfo.org on why the right foods can make such a huge difference in most of the diagnosis you could get.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486228577982025482.post-24278376288547827832012-04-15T13:16:24.894-07:002012-04-15T13:16:24.894-07:00Purrs and healing energy for sweet Ninja.

I've had two old boys with CRF and managed to keep them quite comfortable for some time at home with fluids and Chinese herbal formulas and dietary supplements, which gave them extra time and a good quality of life. I've also managed to successfully treat another old girl who had hyperthyroidism with Chinese herbs and less than half the normal dose of methimazole. I've never had a diabetic kitty, but I know that methyl vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) is a vital supplement. And there are sites out there for support should you need to treat him for diabetes. The kitties and I hope for restored health for Ninja.<br /><br />'Kaika's momIkaikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490381907339678293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486228577982025482.post-3194672605599208992012-04-14T19:31:41.527-07:002012-04-14T19:31:41.527-07:00Oh NO!
