Hello!

I am back after a year away. Must say it is bittersweet.

I originally joined because my cat Fluffy was diabetic. He went to the bridge 1/26/11. At least I know how to test, etc.

Today I found out that my Boo is diabetic :-/. She has mild CRF and her water consumption has increased this past week. I took her to the vet tonight expecting to find that her kidneys had gotten worse but was shocked to learn she is now diabetic. :-(. The vet prescribed 2 units of Lantus once a day but I know better than that. Initially I was going to start her off with .5 units bid but ended up shooting 1 unit as her initial dose and intend to stay there for 5-7 days. What do you guys think?

A little about Boo....she is almost 16 and WILL NOT eat wet food. Sigh. She is on a grain-free dry food and I will continue to try to convince her to eat canned.

No keytones. Vet sent her urine to be cultured. Her bloodwork showed her bilirubin to be a little bit above normal.

If there is a spreadsheet attached to this, please disregard. It was Fluffy's. I will make one for Boo tomorrow.

Thanks for listening guys.
 
I answered you in the relaxed Lantus forum here.

When you want input from multiple sections of the board, please post in one and then link to it in the others as I did above. This will keep all the responses together so you and we don't have to search to see what was said.
