Meowzi has now been extra-sweet for four years! She was dx'ed on 8/15/06, while we were in the middle of a camping trip. Dr B left us a msg confirming the dx :shock: but said not to worry, FD was very manageable and we'd start by putting her on a really good insulin and switching her to canned food. So she started Lantus two days later, and went OTJ in less than 3 months. She fell off the OTJ bandwagon a year after that, and we've been on Lantus and then Levemir since.
Some may think 4 years of being an extra-sweet kitty may not be something to celebrate; we disagree. Without FD, we would not have found FDMB, would not have learned as much as we have about feline health, and would very likely have lost her to mammary cancer sometime in the last two years. Instead, *because* of FD, our bright-eyed, perky-eared, purry, furry, velvet-pawed ruler of the household continues to thrive, and, together with her little sister Cali, fill our lives with love and joy. cat_pet_icon

- this thread isn't about me, it's about FDMB and well, my little princess' annifursary. But thank you anyway. You all do know that credit goes to all of you, right? - for making the effort to find this community, and for doing all you have done for your kitties. And to the beans and furries who came before us. There is a tremendous collection of information and shared experiences archived on the old board, that I spent a lot of time poring over in that one year Meowzi was OTJ. Helping out where I can is my way of paying it forward, in tribute and gratitude to those wise ones who were so generous with their time, knowledge and experience.
