What do I do now?

[HangInThere]

Sinbad is not improving. I cannot tell if he is in pain. But my sweet gentle baby struggles to follow me around. I would do anything to help him. The neuropathy in his hind legs is horribly bad. I can't see any improvement with B12 yet. But I keep hoping. He doesn't lay on my lap anymore and doesn't want to be picked up or held any more either. I give him fancy feast cat food and he is eating very well, many times a day. But he is not gaining weight. I can feel every bone in his body. My funds are very limited since I am on social security. What do I do?

What insulin are you using and in what dose? The best way to tackle neuropathy and weight gain is through good BG regulation. Do you test his blood glucose at home?

If you can begin home testing and enter the data on our spreadsheet we may be able to help you dose him more effectively.

Help us help you get his numbers under control.
Are you willing to learn to home test? Is there a Walmart near you?

B12 is helpful but it can only do so much unless you have the cat in better numbers.
