Karen would you be willing to take a look at Fritz BW results? I have been speaking with Marje and she mentioned having you look at it too? I'm concerned as his cholesterol and several other areas where high. I'm no expert but it seems to me that something is causing insulin resistance, and weight gain. Is there something they can treat cholesterol with?
I'm struggling with all this because with his weight he isn't able to hardly walk let alone play. Every time he tries to play his asthma flares up. So how can he loose weight with eating what a 14lb cat eats?
Of course. I'll send you my email but it's also a good idea to enter each different result into the SS using a different column for each month etc. You'll find it useful and makes it easier to compare. Take a loot at Doodles labs SS.
I did see a post where Larry mentioned that high cholesterol like you said if it's not too high is OK. If that is the case I would be thrilled for the good news.
maybe I just need to find the right one
It's not the insulin...there is something causing insulin resistance in Fritz and we have to become detectives to figure it out. Have you ever looked back at Doodles SS say from Dec 2015 until present?
Doodles first IM Vet claimed to be versed in feline nutrition but yet put him on Purina DM Dry
. The second one I only saw once because we agreed to disagree on the protocol we use. I would recommend trying Desert Veterinary Medical Specialist IM. It's the same place I take Doodles for the cardiologist. I'm pretty happy there and IM, Cardiology & Oncology is in the same office. http://www.dvmspecialists.com/ The office I go to is in Chandler of the 60 and Gilbert Rd.
WOW! Looks like a rainbow !!!! Beautiful blues & greens then what the heck..... health change (RIGHT)?
. we all have HOPE and WISHFUL thinking. It is exactly like you have said numerous TIMES it's not what we do it's up to the cat's body
We're pretty sure he had HCM for a while and one day he could compensate anymore. Many times the first sign of HCM is too late...meaning they are gone. If it wasn't for diabetes and testing like we do here he probably wouldn't be here today. It was really the only indicator that something wasn't right.
If you have an estimate, I'd call soon and make the appointment. Dr. Church is typically 2 months out for an appointment.
I love it! We recently bought one and plan to pack up and go for a few months but not until Doodles gives up.
I don't think it matters either way. I made the appointment with Dr. Church first but it was 45 days out. So we got into the IM vet earlier and Dr. Church did the echo during the same appointment. That was the IM vet who didn't agree with my diabetes management....she's no longer there
!my DH has been so patient but I see he is becoming less and less. More STRESS.any advice as to what I can do? He eats high quality protein low in phoporous.
