I'm giving my cat Foxie her insulin shots,and she is getting good diabetic diet,
I can do it,but she refuses to use a litter box and pee no the floor 3,4times a day.
I'm exhausted and don't know what to do
My vet said its temporary.
She was super clean all her life
I keep the litter boxes super clean and she never did it in the past
I'm devastated
Please tell me if this is forever and what I can do
I love her .
 
Are you hometesting? That is the only accurate way to determine how well your insulin dose is working. What insulin are you using and what is her current dose? Also, what food are you feeding her? That can also affect the glucose levels.
 
She may have a urinary infection, or it could be a reaction to stress. I know you're scared, we've all been there and you've come to the right place.

You are much smarter than a computer. Computers are dumb. They can do only what you tell them to do!
The same thing is true of a car or microwave and you may have learned to use one of those, right? So I am completely sure you will get this. It just looks different than what you are used to seeing.
Take it just 1 step at a time and you'll be OK.

Just want to drop by and try to give you some hope on the peeing

Until she's better regulated, a lot of times they have to go so badly that they just can't hold it another second longer and they start having "accidents". It's important that you clean up anyplace she pees on really well so it doesn't smell like urine or she may continue to pee in the same place over and over again.

It's important that anything that's been pee'd on is thoroughly clean...there are special cleaners out there like Anti Icky Poo that contain enzymes that really get rid of the smell.

Using a black light will also help you to see anywhere she might be peeing that you don't necessarily know about.

If all else fails, you may need to check into medications like Prozac or Buspar, but there are things like Rescue Remedy and Calming Collars that can help sometimes too
 
Thank you I hope this is temporary as she was so great and clean all her life
I do clean well and use enzyme product .
I'm hoping
 
Where are your litter boxes in relation to where she spends most of her time? Diabetic cats urinate a lot, and if the litter box is far (like in the basement) they can't "make it" all the way there and chose to pee someplace closer.
