Feline Diabetes

Big Boy has Diabetes! I must give him two shots a day.
http://felinediabetes.com/pzi.htm I am new to this too, but I will try to help others get through it also. Together, and with a little Love, We can treat this. I started with the very first injection. If I can do this, then so can you!

is that a Lantus insulin? Where did you get it? It costs me more than $100 and I can't find anywhere/internet cheaper...

[TheRadicalreels]

@hupimao Yes it was Lantus, I guess it's gone up more in the last 10 months. See, my first Vet was only concerned with making money! Remember, he told me it expired in 28 days! Well it does not. You really don't need to buy this expensive brand, when others do the exact same thing! I took him off Insulin and he's on Chinese and Western Herbs and doing fine! When I did this video, I didn't realize I was yet a Victim of my Vet's greed. Take care!

Always make sure you inject his skin, not the thick part of him. Also, make sure the needle doesn't go thur them and the insulin come back out like I did many times in the beginning.

Good Luck ;)

@kikiidoggie Thanks! Sad thing is that Vet I first took him to, only cared about money! He never smiled once or gave any sort of complement to Big Boy. I did go to him to save money, but I ended up paying more! Next week I will be able to take him to a much better Vet, the same one where he was neutered and operated on as a Kitten. I will ask her if I can film the visit, with out getting her or the Vet name in it. I never thought an Animal Vet could be greedy like a Human Doctor? I was wrong!

I found out yesterday that my cat has Diabeties. He was walking like his back feet were broken. His blood sugar level was 500. He will recover. We love our pets and its nice to see you do too. Expect your cat to have "mood swings". It is the same with humans. I wish both of you well.

@snarlingrabiddog5150 Thank You! Big Boy has lost 13 pounds and I have stopped giving him Insulin! I can't really afford it anyway. But he is doing better than ever! I think my Vet just wants money!

Wow, unbelievable how calm Big Boy is...

Mine would have screamed, hissed and scratched...

Maybe you should become a cat-whisperer ;-) (if you aren't already :D )

My cat lost one pound and the vet told me that losing weight goes with Diabetes. My Dad has it pretty bad. I would watch him close, I'm sure you will. Insulin is so expensive, but it might be necessary. Just watch him for walking problems, like his back feet pointing out, shaky walking, mood swings & crystalized urine. Prayers always help! I don't know what I'd do without my cats, they're just like my children. Its all new to me too! Wish you and the littleguy all the best!

You're a good man and he's one lucky kitty!
