Hello,
I am a newcomer here, this site was recommended by a Facebook friend. My male cat is 14 years old and was diagnosed 12/22/2014. Obviously he was showing signs with large intake of water and high output. Since original diagnosis I have him on twice daily Vetsulin, 1.5 units, as of today I have noticed very little changes in his habits. My vet suggested on 12/22 that I retest after about 30 days. I have already been advised here in a different chat room that I may test myself with human meter along with Neosporin, thank you, I may take that into consideration after the vet test. I was also told that the Vetsulin was developed for dogs so I will confer with the vet on this as well.
My work schedule does not allow for much of a difference in the intervals.
Would it be a good idea to increase the units to maybe 2.0 or more or possibly different insulin brand until I see a change in his habits then take him to the vet for his retest?
Looking for sound advice from the experienced here.
Thank you.
