I have now more or less missed five of Smiffy's injections .. last night she really lashed out at me and I got scratched and bled and this morning she lashed out again just as I thought I had got her settled and she was eating and tried to slip the needle in but she lashed out, the insulin went on her fur and the needle bent ...... shall I leave it tonight to see if I can get her confidence back or leave it a couple of days ...

I think I have already posted this but couldn't find it to add something to it so here goes now and could you tell me how to find a thread once I have started one? As above .. how quickly will she start to feel ill again if I can't get the insulin into her @Elizabeth and Bertie ?

I just feel like I need to give her a break so that I can get her confidence back again ........

I don't think she is displaying exactly the same symptoms as the other cat in the thread but she DOES usually stick by my side and even before she was diagnosed and was clearly poorly, she used to sit on the back of the sofa with me but she has taken to the two bedrooms ..... she went out into the garden this morning all cheerful today having said that and I haven't noticed an increase in thirst or peeing yet so the clinical signs are not the same as before she was diagnosed ... she was purring on the bed when I was fussing her earlier on about a few hours ago but she has gone back to bed ... she is not wobbling or acting weird ...

Will reply to this on your other thread. It will get confusing having two similar threads.

Can't find your other thread now to respond to ... I can read it in my e-mail account .... she is behaving differently after say five hours of her shot during the day I would say .... the thing is I don't get to observe her from the time of her morning shot at 9.30 until 2.30 in the afternoon as I am nocturnal so sleep during the day .... she was fine at 2.30 and at about 4 went back upstairs and has not asked to go out so she is not happy ... difficult to tell in the evening as she is always on her bed downstairs in the evening ... it is 5.30 now so I will try to call her for a treat as she understands that word ... what do I do if she is not doing well on the Caninsulin .... the Vet did say that we could change to ProZinc if she is not much bettter by her next appointment which is on the 6th May .....

Her coat is a bit ruffled but the dandruff is reduced .... the last time she went to the Vet which was one and a half weeks after starting the Caninsulin she had gained weight ... it is difficult to tell now if she has lost weight of not .... she is not peeing more or drinking more .. going to call her for a treat and she usually comes down .... she wouldn't come down so I went upstairs to get her to come down and gave her a treat and stroked her and fondled her scruff and she strated to moan - like a litte mutter and now she is sleep and lethargic and flopped on the carpet ... going to give her some cat nip which she usually likes .... fondled her scruff again and she was about to go for me again @Critter Mom - do you think I have hurt her in the scruff? Brusied her? Maybe I should try a bit further down tonight?
 
Looby,

Please don't post any further replies on this thread because it is making it difficult to respond to your questions. I have used copy & paste to add the text from your most recent replies above to the other thread so that people following Smiffy's progress will have visibility of all the information you're providing in one place so that they might better suggest things to help you both.

I will not be replying to any further posts on this thread.
