diabetes cats treatment
Should I just let them?
My cat is 13yrs old and just received a diagnosis of diabetes. The treatment is very involved and can be expensive. It is not curable and requires constant supervision. Does anyone else out there had to deal with this situation? Is he became ill and suffering? At his age, it is best just to him? HELP!
You need more information about it to make its decision. Diabetes is completely curable, sets the cat, and then followed by insulin injections. Ours is Lantus. He received 2 units twice a day, and give him at 7 am and 7 pm, which are the moments I know I'm going home for 99% of the time. Buying insulin cartridges in a package of 5, WalMart had the best deal. The area cost $ 149, and to $ 16 per box of 100 syringes (I reuse each twice) the cost of treatment breaks down something like $ 12 per month. Very affordable, but you must pay for insulin in the front. The blood glucose meters are free (there are several sites online that you can get one) and test strips at Walmart too, or you can get a price cheap online. Please join a yahoogroups lists feline diabetes. This is a very treatable disease, and the cat can stay healthy for years. It is not difficult give shots. They do not suffer and there is no reason to euthenise! The "patient" is when the cat is not treated or power down and out - then they feel bad and can be developed major problems, including cataracts. Ours is very affordable to do. He has been on insulin for over 2 years and is like any other cat in the house. These guys are called sugarcats, find plenty of information online, including YouTube videos on how to inject their sites to help you choose cat the high protein / right diet low in carbohydrates (cheap!) and what to watch. You do not need constant supervision 24 hours. Many cats and dogs are insulin and fine owners who are informed and prepared to care for their pets. If your veterinarian can guide you through the process, find a vet who do. This is a very treatable disease and the cat may be near normal.
