Hi everyone,

I told you all about Angel's diagnosis yesterday. Since yesterday, she has not been walking well, and sleeping a lot. She has done nothing she normally does. She's thin, and just let me pick her up without even a meow. I called my vets office and we are going in at 2:20. I am afraid it's her time. The vet is going to check her blood to determine if it's the diabetes and teach me what to do. Looking at her the way she is right now looks terrible and I'm afraid it will be time. I don't want her to be miserable.

Has anyone had this experience. I will be leaving for the vet at 1:45. I will check my email again before then for any feedback.

Thank you so much :cry: :cry:
 
Could be neuropathy from the diabetes. I think it can be treated with B-12. I am sending you prayers.

I don't know much about it but I agree with Terri. I heard neuropathy can cause that. Getting on insulin should help.

I wouldn't panic. Wait til the vet looks her over and deal with it then. Until then, you'll just freak out and make yourself miserable. Sending tons of vines and healing thoughts! Let us know how it goes!
 
Is she already on insulin? Diabetes is not a death sentence, you can treat her and by doing so her leg problems will also go away. This message board can help you get through this and give your kitty an extension on life.
 
Did your vet check Angel for ketones yesterday? If not, be sure he/she checks today for ketones/diabetic ketoacidosis. DKA is an emergency situation and can cause the symptoms you're seeing. If the problem is diabetic neuropathy or low potassium, both are treatable.

Diabetes is not a death sentence and your kitty can live a full and normal life if properly treated. Lots of caring and very experienced people on this website will be more than happy to help you.

Thank you everyone for your response. After evaluating all that was wrong with Angel, and the amount of time it would take to stabilize her we decided that it was not a good quality of life for her. Angel crossed over the bridge this afternoon. I am heart broken, but feel confident in my decision. Angel was loved and cared for for over 18 years. She gave me more than I ever gave her.

Thank you all.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. Having made the same decision this morning myself...the heartbreak if freshly etched in my soul. Fly free Angel for you are truly and Angel tonight. Look for Izzy, perhaps you two can cross together.
 
All that love while with us here, it's always beyond measure. But they most certainly take it all with them to share when they leave us on this world. Regards, hopes and prayers...

Mike
