Treating diabetic cats is a very difficult thing to do. It took a large toll on me. I was in constant fear Bailey would go hypoglycemic. She would get me up every night for a snack at about 3am. I would jump out of bed because I was so worried she was going hypoglycemic. Then there were the worries of ketosis. So it is such a double edged sword. Too much insulin is bad, and too little is bad and it is always changing. <BR/>I am sure you did a great job. It is just such an unpredictable disease. <BR/>I understand how you feel.taschahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202669905506803765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414320155191227033.post-92010323290619841202009-02-13T21:22:00.000-05:002009-02-13T21:22:00.000-05:00Tascha, I feel compelled to write and tell you...Tascha,<BR/> I feel compelled to write and tell you of our similar experiences. A month or so ago I was looking at pictures of your white cat and I thought, "Oh, that looks like my Vladimir," who is also a lovely all white cat. Then tonight I see a picture of Bailey and I can't believe it. About eight yeears ago I had a cat named Sammy who looked just like Bailey and he too had Diabetes. I had to give him insulin shots twice a day. I hardly went anywhere because of the structure I needed around poor Sammy. One night I attended a party at my friend's house for a couple hours, only to return and find Sammy in diabetic shock laying on the floor. I rushed him to the emergency room, but they said he would not make it and that I needed to put him down. It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life and I lived with the feeling that it was my fault for going out that one night. I know it wasn't because he had just been to the vet's that day and I fear they didn't check his levels properly, but it took me a long time to get my next cat, about four years, and only did when I was asked to rescue him as he was abandoned at my niece's vet office. Now I have Vladimir, my white cat, and I'm so glad I do. Anyway, it just amazes me at the similarities in our stories.<BR/>Susan GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414320155191227033.post-33818345329588573182009-02-13T20:10:00.000-05:002009-02-13T20:10:00.000-05:00An amazing and touching story Tascha!
