we took him to the vet bc he had been barely eating (we gave him food that made him want to drink water bc he had a bit of sand in his bladder) and bc he also lost 2 kg. After being diagnosed on saturday (yesterday) he hasnt been eating at all. We fed him with a syringe and gave him his insulin. Will this continue? should i go to the vet again? They didnt keep him on saturday bc he is very anxious and angry in the vets. I am afraid if i go again he will get more anxious. But i am also afraid of him no going to the vet. We are gonna call tommorow to ask what to do but i am very anxious.
My cat was recently diagnozed with diabetes and he wont eat or drink water.

Welcome to FDMB
So sorry you're, going thru all this stress, as well as your cat, when Corky came back from the hospital I had to syringe feed him, he had lost 8.5lbs from 16.5lbs, it was very hard to get him to eat, I wasn't worried about the water, because I would soften the wet food that already has 80
% water, with a bit more water so it would go thru the syringe, I would put a towel inside the bathroom sink, and sit him inside, it was the only way I could keep him still. are you home testing before each shot? We would like to know what insulin you are using as well
