Have you ever cared for a diabetic cat Fewiil?? Well I have and it really is not the most difficult thing to do.
Cats respond VERY well to proper regulation of their blood sugars and it does not take a rocket scientist to do this properly at home with very little need for expensive vet visits.
For anybody who is interested in more up to date and accurate information regarding Feline Diabetes please go to Diabetic Cat Care and read the Protocol designed by a leading vet expert Elizabeth Hodgkins. |
Thankyou PP, I have just finished reading some of your link, I looked after a three year old insuline dependant toddler with my wife for the weekend, most nervous time we ever had they want to put everything in their mouths.And having to boys 8 and 10 who think nothing of getting pop or sweets,and just leaving them around half finished,it was a nightmare.
I read franks article and stupidly pressumed it must be the same,thankyou for educating me further,I will read your link more in depth later, to educate further.
I have had no dealings with diabetic cats,but I run a boarding cattery,so I guess one day I might,so I will read your link in more detail. Thanks
P.s Hobbs did you see how I slipped the wife in,so theirs no confusion
