Oh, that makes sense then. It's a gradual change, when they start to get sick, and we don't notice. I thought it was aging, that he was slowing down. I thought his dandruff was just that he had 'dry skin'. No vet that I know has mentioned the possibility of a connection between dandruff and diabetes. But I should have thought Stewie's drinking and peeing a lot were signs. I just thought he was like that. Silly me. My civvie Sammy drank a lot too. I think it's due to the dry food they were getting. They got wet food too, morning and evening, but the dry was the issue of course. Upon hearing about Stewie's remission, my friend's cat sitter wrote this to her, "I have a book written by a vet who used to be employed by the pet food industry, and she is adamant that all of the major common cat illnesses, which include diabetes, are caused by feeding dry food."
