Linda for Weezer
Very Active Member
Weezer is a10 year old, spayed female. Or as I tell her, “the one and only Weezer, the best kitty in the whole wide world”. She was diagnosed with diabetes about three months ago. At diagnosis she had ketosis, so it was rocky for a few days. I found this incredible forum after the crisis was over and I have been lurking and learning from you for a few weeks. She is on Humulin N, currently 6 units twice a day. Her diet at that time of diagnosis was about ½ canned and ½ dry. I changed the dry to Evo because it was lower carb content. I am transitioning her to canned only, using the Evo as treats. I am hometesting. I just got the spreadsheet downloaded today and filled it in with her info starting last Sunday when I did a curve. We got a smart cat box yesterday, so I am also tracking her urine output.
I would like to share some of her life story. 10 years ago a feral cat had a litter of 5 kittens in our boat. We found them when they were brand new. Momma kitty moved them to a “safe place” where the nosy people wouldn’t bother them. Unfortunately, a few days later she was killed in the street in front of our house. I knew those kittens were out there somewhere and I spent hour after hour, day after day looking for them. I was pretty sure they must have died when on day 5 one brave little boy came out of hiding crying much louder than I could have imagined such a little thing was capable of. They were all alive! One died before I could get them to the vet and one was in such a state that the vet recommended euthanization. Of the three survivors, Weezer was the runt. She had a hard time. Blow flies had laid eggs in her ear, so we dealt with ear infections and other problems. But after a couple of months, she seemed fine and has been healthy until 3 months ago.
I would appreciate any advice you can give about her current numbers and the amount and kind of insulin she is getting, or anything else.
