Has anyone heard of walking on front hocks? Kaia front foot has dropped pretty low. When she was first diagnosed she walked on her back hocks but that corrected.
Not sure if it's arthritis or neuropathy.
I know she's getting older and I worry constantly. Not sure if she's regulated enough (I was told so). Her eyes have been a bit dilated as well.
I lost my other baby to hyperthyroidism in Nov. I am now paranoid about my sweet Kaia.
 
I’m so sorry about to your other kitty.
It does sound like neuropathy. Are you giving some methyl B12 supplements?
You also need to try and get her better regulated for the neuropathy to improve. I noticed you have another thread on the Lantus page about swapping to Lantus from Prozinc. I think that would be a very good idea. You have given Prozinc a good chance.
 
I had her on vitamin B for 6 weeks. Should I continue?
I had planned on changing insulin several times, I'm just gone often and I'm afraid to do it while I'm away. I need someone to really watch her close while she makes the change. I only have my sister and she works long hours as well.

It’s not ordinary vitamin B it us methyl B12. You can buy Zobaline from lifelink.com, it’s the same thing
When are you going away? I would wait until you gone back before swapping insulins

I'm leaving Feb 15th thru Feb 22nd.
I worry waiting. Is it a tough transition?
Her vet gave me the Vitamin B, it's not the correct vitamin B?
