Civie question: All three civies were in for annual bloodwork and shots. I don't have the exact number, but Dallas (age 4) came back with higher than normal glucose (lower than the last bloodwork). He eats the same food as Chuck, low carb, just like all of them. He weighs 13-14 pounds. I tried an ear stick tonight without success, but that's not a surprise. I didn't think young cats developed diabetes as frequently as older cats -- is there something we should be looking at/for with Dallas?

He was a shelter cat -- make the long story short -- in 2008 Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where we lived and worked, suffered a catastrophic flood in June. Dallas was born in November 2008 -- his mother was a "flood cat," living in flooded-out houses and buildings in a virtually deserted area (it had anywhere from 10-15 feet of water in the buildings at peak flood). Would this be anything that could influence his BG 4 years later?

It is not impossible for young cats to be diabetic, but it is not as common as in older, overweight cats. I do think there are other things that can cause higher bg levels. You might post on Health and ask.

I wonder if Chuck goes down lower at +5-7? Hope you can get some of those numbers sometime soon. If he does, his cycles would look quite good.

What was his bg's?

There are several young cats here on the board. KPassa is one of them if you want to read some of her posts.

There are many things that can contribute to FD, steroid shots are one of them.
