Hello. My cat has diabetes. Presently she has injections of 4ml twice a day (morning & evening). I have an electronic insulin blood calculator. If I take 5 readings in one day and pass the results to you will you be able to tell me if to increase or
Hi, you would probably need to go through a consultation as this allows several messages and much more in depth advice. Important information such as when was she first diagnosed and what dosage of insulin she was started on and if she had any blood tests afterwards and what they indicated. What was her initial weight and how is her weight doing. What do you normally feed her and what times. Is she allowed to go outside, what other medications is she on. There are lots of things to consider and a face to face examination is always advisable at least once every six months. However in the short term, you could have a consultation with one of the experts here, hope this helps !

My diabetic cat is on proving insulin which is expensive. Is there an otc human equivalent insulin?
I’m assuming you meant ProZinc insulin and if so there is unfortunately not a cheaper alternative. While less expensive human insulin can on rare occasions be used successfully in cats it usually does not provide good control of diabetes. You also need to start over with dosing and frequent monitoring when switching from one insulin to another which would increase cost. It’s probably best to stick with ProZinc if Mikey is well regulated.

My dog has diabetes and gets caninsulin twice daily. I have ms and frequently drop things. I was advised that if I drop caninsulin it can break the suspension and can't be used. This is proving costly for example I opened a new bottle yesterday and d
Hi there. Sorry that you are having this issue. All insulins are very sensitive actually and not just the Caninsulin. That being said, the Caninsulin actually comes in a preloaded pen that you can use instead of dosing from a bottle and filling the syringes yourself. http://www.caninsulin.com/vetpen/about-vetpen.asp I recommend you talk to your vet about getting that instead. I think it would be easier for you. I hope this helps. If you have more questions please feel free to post again! Best wishes!

I'm sorry to hear that you're in this difficult position! Diabetes is generally a very treatable disease in cats, provided that you are able to make the recommended diet changes and give daily insulin injections. I do not normally consider this a reason to euthanize the cat, unless the owner feels that treatment is not feasible - either for logistical or financial reasons. Please let us know if you have specific questions about this - we would be happy to try and help.

These signs may be compatible with either kidney failure or diabetes as you correctly suspected, but urinary inflammation/infection is possible as well. Urinary incontinence is possible but rarer in cats. A physical examination and urine analysis at least are necessary to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
