Hello, I've got an 'just curious' question.
Is it normal to see less pee/poo in a litterbox from a diabetic cat? Or is this something I should be worried about? i have 2 cats that use the same litterbox, and I've seen the usage cut in half. However, there is no problems with them using the outside of the litterbox.
One thing to note is the nnon-diabetic cat just got done having a problem with diarrhea that seems to have went away on its own.
So I was just wondering, is this something that I should contact my vet about to see if something is wrong? Or....?
Something to note about the diabetic cat is her recent bG levels, of which I still haven't gotten the hang of testing at home yet, so these are the reliable numbers from the vet:
2/14/2012(Diagnosis): 400 before pm shot and before dinner
2/23: 275 before pm shot and before dinner
2/24(mother helped with this, she has a diabetic cat, so this was 2nd nature to her): 207 hour or so after pm shot and food
3/2: 175 before pm shot and dinner
She is currently on Humulin N, dose of 2.5 units, before the 2nd, it was 2 units. This all started happening on Saturday. I also could not give her her shot on saturday morning as I was gone, and within that time and sunday night, she managed to lose an ounce, which was the main indicator that she was diabetic.
