Hello friends,
With the help of this website I have managed to get my cat Indy’s levels almost into the safe range… She went from having numbers consistently in the 400s to now between 150-250 almost every reading. In the past week, however, she has begun to decline rapidly and I have no idea what to do. Her levels haven’t changed, I keep testing her and she’s not been any higher or lower than normal. But her back legs are giving out, she can no longer jump, and the more worrisome symptom is that in the last few days she has become very weak and lethargic. She’s still eating and using the litter box as normal and she perks up every so often. She doesn’t seem distressed or agitated. But when I picked her up this morning she was alert but limp in my arms and it’s scary. One more piece of the puzzle is that her insulin is rather old… I haven’t been able to afford to replace it so I let it go a bit longer between orders than I normally do. Her new insulin should arrive tomorrow. My questions are… should I rush her to the vet, is there anything they can do for her that I haven’t already done, will the vet make me put her down, and do we think it could be a problem with her insulin and should I wait and see how she does with her new insulin once it arrives?
Thanks in advance for any help. My partner and I are preparing for the worst for our beloved girl. Our hearts are breaking. This has been the most difficult year
