We are half-way there!

So tonight I am home alone and thinking about what DH keeps wondering out loud.  He is wondering if Webber's multiple surgeries (anesthesia) could have been the cause of Webber's diabetes.  I did not think that Webber had ever gotten any steroids, so I decided to get out his medical file and record everything since the beginning of time (for him at least, lol).  The verdict is YES he had gotten steroids and other stuff.  I used to be so good at keeping up with everything when it came to the babies.  But I admit I did get lax in filing alot of Webber's paperwork.  I DO always keep the empty pill bottles, baggies etc so that I have it on record what they have taken and when.

My poor baby has been through alot the past few years.  He also had repeated UTI's which I would hope the vet would have looked for sugar in the urine back then.  I would hate to think that he was beginning to show signs of diabetes a year ago and we neglected to see it.  But such is life.  There is nothing we can do about it now.  At least we caught it when we did and treated it aggressively.

Today marks the 7th day of Webber's OTJ 14 day Trial period.  He is doing very well, althought I still hold my breath every time I test him.  Matter of fact, today was the first time I took off my necklace since he went OTJ.  I am superstitious and had to actually talk myself into taking off the necklace.  Haha  Call me crazy cuz I know it is crazy.

I am still feeding them Sophisticat and Fancy Feast.  I need to spend some time researching my other options.  Petsmart does not carry Wellness and some of the other food that I see alot of people feed their kitties.  I think I can try Friskies because Petsmart certainly has that handy.  I am still having to buy alot of litter.  I add alot of water the all of their canned food so that must be the reason they all still pee so much.  At least there are no huge pancake pee's to speak of in the litterbox....that is GOOD news.  I am still on high alert for any changes in Webber's behavior or habits.  The one thing that we have noticed (and I am not too happy about) is him getting rough/aggressive with Lacey.  Everyone seems to pick on Lacey and I hate to hear it and see it.  She knows how to stick up for herself, but I just hate to hear all the growling and hissing.  Who even knows what goes on when I am not here.

Til next time....
