One important thing to remember is that it is safer for a cat to have a too high level of blood glucosez than too low, so if the owner is in doubt that the cat has eaten well enough, he should refrain from giving the insulin. It's helpful to know everything that may be involved with caring for a diabetic pet, but for most owners, the care will be simple. Though there is certainly more information and there are more possible complications that may occur, the average pet owner will probably not encounter them. Stick to a routine, and be observant. I have four cats, and they weren't too happy about it at first, but now they know what to expect and even which bowl is assigned to them.
Cats are pretty smart, and very adaptable.
J.C. is doing very well. He's gained weight, has returned to the proper use of the litter box, and seems quite healthy. All I do is feed and dose, and watch him. It's a very minor inconvenience, and well worth the trouble to see him healthy and happy once again. Inc. PageWise makes no representations about the content published on this site.
