Hi,I have posted here before and I am looking for more advice, because I'm becoming overwhelmed and confused with all of this new treatment information.I have taken My cat Benny(benicio) to another new vet this past thursday.He was diagnosed with diabetes on12/4/10.I was not happy with Bennys prior vets treatment plans so I decided to start from scratch.
The new vet. gave Benny a fructosamine level test.The test result levels were in the 700's.Benny is also scheduled to have a 2 day glucose curve done this week, 1/25/12.Benny is currently on 1 unit of lantus for now as suggested by the vet until his glucose curve is done.His urine has been checked and they told me the results were OK.The new vet insists that I feed Benny prescription diet dry m/d and canned w/d which goes against all the information I have learned from this site.She also told me that my testing meter(reli-on brand,walmart) will not be accurate when used on pets.
I have Tried to home test Benny ,but he will have no part of it ...he just freaks out and becomes nasty.Treats ,burrito method... nothing as of yet will work.
If possible are there any members that I can keep in contact with for advice until Benny becomes regulated and is in better health.I have been offered some great and helpful advice here and appreciate that very much.But as you probably already know some of these vets are recommending treatment that may not be good for our cats.
Thanks, Chuck and Benny(Benicio)
