Hello Friends,

I haven't been a hugely active member of this forum..(to say the least)...but it (and FD.com) has provided me with a wealth of invaluable info that helped me deal with my diabetic cat,Bruises.

The only time I've posted here was almost exactly a year ago..august last year...re: looking for someone to look after Bruises whilst I was away...

Well,sadly Bruises died on Sunday evening.

He was very old...but generally doing ok..However,last wednesday he managed to get a chocolate easter egg out of the cupboard whilst I was out..(!)...he ate loads of it...and obviously got very sick...diarrhoea for a few of days..blood sugar was obviously through the roof..and very wobbly..

After a few days of trying to get him in decent shape again..he died on Sunday evening as I held him.


I just want to say thanks so much for this awesome resource..all those that have helped me directly..and those that,through their posts,have helped indirectly...

I have a half bottle of Hypurin Bovine (protamine zinc) insulin,about 35 freestyle lite test strips + freedom lite meter (needs the least blood of any home meter)...Accu-chek fastclix lancet clicker (apparently the least painful of any lancet)and spare cartridge of lancets that I'd like to donate to any one that needs them...It's a costly business !!..I'm based in London UK...but happy to cover shipping to anywhere...

PM/email if you want them.

..and If there's anyone in the London area who finds themselves with a diabetic cat..and needs any direct help/advice/training,someone to administer insulin whilst away...I'd be totally happy to help in any way I can..


Thanks again guys and all the best to you and your fluffy friends.

I am so sorry to hear about Bruises.

Thank you for reaching out to help others at this time.

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. That's very sad. Just know you were his hero, and you will see him again someday. Fly free Bruises.

May your good memories help lighten grief.
 
Re: Big thanks guys and goodbye..+ free insulin,test strips,

Thanks sooo much for the kind words of support guys!...It means a lot.

It's been a tough time.

I still have all the home testing stuff and insulin..and it would be a shame to throw it all away...let me know whatever you want.

Thanks and hugs to you all,

D
