I stumbled on this site while researching pancreatitis. It seems pretty up to date. Under Feline Diabities it has sections for acro and AAI, Cushings. Lots of other categories. Most we have covered here at one point but this is all in one place. Thought it might benefit others.

I'm sure there is a lot of good info here, but I have some issues with several of the things it says about diabetes, notably:

Remember, finding ketones occasionally is not a problem but a positive dipstick three days in a row is a criterion for a vet visit.

I beg to differ. If your cat has ketones, even just a little, you should ALWAYS take him or her to the vet ASAP.

A bottle of insulin, when stored properly, should last 6 to 8 weeks. After that time it should probably be replaced.

Now that's just ridiculous. As we all know, insulin, if stored properly,can last as long as 6 months!

There were other things, but those were the two that really got my attention. Just proves that you should use many different sources when researching a condition, so you can make the most informed decisions.

Lots of information on medications, long term use, what else they are used for. Interesting read.

The information on this site is mixed. The IAA and acromegaly section has some old ideas, like 90% of acrocats being male. And saying antibodies are not necessarily a bad thing. Huh?

I did preface by say it was pretty up to date , but yes, there are some issues.
