Hello!
The email I got told to verify my account said I should post here. So I am!
One of my cats (white and brown tabby, domestic shorthair spayed female, will be 11 January 2026) was diagnosed March 2024. Been a challenge since then! She's been having gastrointestinal issues somewhat recently, but I found them a new vet that is amazing and reasonably priced (previously I did not think there existed a vet that was both of those things at once! Lol) and we have been working on figuring it out. It's a long road.
My other cat (black, domestic shorthair neutered male, 11 as of September 2025 was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease shortly after my other cat's diabetes diagnosis. A couple months ago he had to start daily preventative treatment for that (Prednisolone), so he's at a high risk of developing diabetes.
I don't have any specific questions at the moment. I joined so that I could share what I know and have access to all the lovely people here and their knowledge. Special needs kitties are no easy task, and it can make a part parent feel very alone and scared at times, so I feel having and being a part of a network like this would be beneficial (for myself and for anyone that I may be able to help one day with the knowledge I have gathered). Helping eachother usually makes things a little less heavy.
