So my other cat had not been feeling well the past few days so yesterday I took her to the vet and today I found out she was diabetic. I know it happens so my cat is now one of them, I know it is usually not a death sentence, but she is in bad shape. U have 3 options right now a very expensive intensive care animal hospital at 500 plus a day fro a month, or another option of taking her down to the vet's office monday thru saturday for about 150 a month, or put her down. Now I am not adverse to putting an animal down if the quality of life is compromised, but right now she is not in pain and stands a good chance of making it through this. So right now putting her down is not an option, and thanks to my great vet who I adore greatly, he told me that the other 2 options they both stand the same chance, so I have decided right now to take her down everyday to the vet's office, for an injection, but I am worried I just lost my other cat about a month or so ago, and I could not lose another animal right now. I have a total of 3 cats 2 are related and the other is a Siamese I am contemplating taking both of them down for some type of diabetes test, just to rule it out and prevent further more expensive medical costs.
So with that being said does anyone have any experience with a diabetic cat? how did it go, is it a lot different than normal, special diet? any info would be greatly appreciated.
