I Know you will get there. I have a god friend who is going through the same thing with her Jasper. Jasper was one of my babies a few years ago. It has taken a while for her to get the right dose. Jasper is finally doing better. Hang in there. I am praying for you both... HUGS

Omg, thank you Suzanne.....I really needed to hear this.....we don't know anyone else with a diabetic cat, and Andi has not dealt with one either, so we feel so unsupported.....we were instructed to increase his dose a smidgen from 2 units to 2.25 units.....we started that on Saturday so hope to see a bit of improvement soon....I don't know if his IBS is a contributing factor either.....ugh! Right now we are giving him 12 mg of cerenia every other day and that is keeping his vomiting and diarrhea under control......he hasn't had an IBS episode since this protocol.....whes!

Well I don’t know what vets bills are like with you but there high in the UK. I’m sure that all will settle down with Sammi and you will become less stressed and that Sammi feels better. Obviously a trying time for you and him. Take care and good luck

Thank you.....it is out of control everywhere.....it was almost $600 to diagnose diabetes.....not including meds.....I will do whatever I have to for him and go without myself!

I hope that you can fix the sugar values, poor Sammi. My veterinarian's calculations bring me also around the sleep, unfortunately, my new cat is very ill, unfortunately, I understand you too well, hugs Maria

I know, this may be why so many people surrender their pets to humane society as they can't afford their care...it is a shame and don't know what the answer is😿

So sorry to hear things aren't going so well. I believe there are some websites that you may be able to reach out to to get help with the vet bills. I'm expecting a large vet bill soon. On the 10th we will be trying to take in 5 kittens that a feral cat (that we have been feeding) has brought to our back deck to get a wellness check and maybe some vaccinations. The next week we need to try to trap her and get her in to be spayed. I'm going to ask if they have a group discount. Good luck with Sammy. Our Sam is not happy about our new dependents. He is immune compromised, so we haven't been able to let them in.

Awww....bless your heart...we have a TNR program here supported by PAWS and sometimes it is $5 for each and sometimes free.....check with your local rescue groups and see what is available to you.....
Thanks, my main concern is being able to grab them all and get them in. Hope things are going better with Sammi.

We certainly do face a lot of challenges in our lives, but know others care and prayers are being said. Caring is sharing.
