Holly - Further Update [View all]
I just got off the phone with the vet tech and they're pretty sure it's diabetes. So I have to take her in at 3:00 today so they can show me how to give her the injections and get the prescription for the medicine and syringe. They don't want to wait to get her started on Monday and neither do I.
I asked the tech if she could just develop diabetes after all these years and she said it's not uncommon in 15-year-old cats.
At least it's something treatable with medication. I've never given an injection to a cat before; I hope I'm good at it. Years ago, I had to give my mother an injection in her stomach every day for 10 days before she had a procedure done and I hope it'll be that easy. The hardest part will be making sure she's eaten before giving her the injection. I'll just have to figure that out somehow.
